Subject: . Joseph Clark (after his death suits are filed by Isabella Clark and later her second husband) vs. Ki ng and Hammond. ECP/ 51/ 3//

See Paper files for Case Transcripts. The importance of this case is seen in the chancery case Thomas K. Beale files as Joseph Clark's administrator. As it turns out, a portion of the lands in question are subsumed by a pre-existing track. This case offers insight into Maryland patents and provides a window for understanding business practices at the time.
