      Charles County Court Records, March 1737/8 Court, Liber T#2, Page 430.
      Pursuant to the order of last Nov Court, Commission issued to examine witnesses touching the bounds of a tract of land called Asher, in possession of Rando: and Jacob Brandt. Commissioners appointed: Major Robert Yates, Capt: Benjamin Fendall, Mr. Richard Marshall, and Mr. Philip Lee (not being any way related to the Petr, contiguous Proprietor, nor interested in the sd land). Asher is in CC. The purpose of the Commission was to prove and perpetuate the memory of the bounds of sd tract of land.
      And now here, at Mar Court, Benjamin Fendall and Philip Lee return to this Court the Commission afd, with the following certificate and depositions thereto annexed:
      We certify that on Dec 20, 1737, we did meet on the land within mentioned, and then and there, in presence of all parties concerned that were there present, took the following depositions. Signed - Benjamin Fendall, Philip Lee Jr

      Francis Glass, age about 60, deposes that about 31 years ago, he lived with Charles Brandt, and that the sd Brandt showed him a small valley falling into the head of a marsh belonging to Peters Cr, at the bottom of which valley stands a large, black gum adjoining the afd marsh, the valley and marsh being contiguous to and on the north side of the mansion house of Jacob Andrew Minitree, joiner, and told the deponent that the valley divided the lands between him and George Newman. This deponent further says that he helped to clear the ground on the north side of the valley for Charles Brandt, without let or hindrance from George Newman. Signed - Francis Glass.

      Priscilla Newman, aged about 35, deposes that there was a potato patch on the north side of the afd valley, about 40 yards from the black gum afd, which sd potato patch this deponent has heard her decd husband, John Newman, say was on the land of Charles Brandt afd. Signed - Priscilla (X her mark) Newman.

      Benjamin Douglass, age about 50, deposes that, to the best of his knowledge, the land on the north side of the afd valley, was cleared and cultivated by Charles Brandt without interruption, let, or hindrance from George Newman, owner of the land on the south side of the valley, but whether sd land was tended by sd Brandt as far as the valley, this deponent knows not. Signed - Benjamin Douglass.

      Barton Hungerford, age about 51, deposes that about 40 years ago, he was in company with Sam:l Fearson near the above valley, and that sd Sam:l Fearson showed him a tree which he informed this deponent, was a bound tree between Mr. Charles Brandt and George Newman. Signed - Barton Hungerford.

      Capt. Joseph Douglass, age about 63, deposes that about 30 years ago, he was in company with George Newman near the abovesd valley, and that sd George informed him that he thought his neighbor Brandt encroached upon him, and farther this deponent says not in relation to the abovesd valley. But this deponent says also that the marsh between him and Randolph Brandt's has, for 20 years past and upwards, been reputed and commonly known by the name of Cottralls Mart [Marsh].

      Elizabeth Sims, age about 35, deposes that to the best of her knowledge, John Newman told her that, in the above valley, he was in company with George Newman at the time that Charles Brandt was clearing the ground on the north side of sd valley, and adjoining to it, and that sd George Newman told sd Charles Brandt not to clear any further, for that he had cut down one his sd Newman's line trees, which stood in the afd valley near the marsh first before mentioned. Signed - Elizabeth Simms.
