Crew’s Landing

In 1715 Edward Crew leased Fish Hall (Fishall Pattent 1665) for 11 years at the yearly rate of one ear of corn. Crew purchased 60 of the original 225 acres for 3000 lbs. of tobacco in 1726 and the remaining 165 acres in 1728. Fish Hall later became known as Crew’s Landing. It was condemned on April 18, 1866 for a public landing. The County Commissioners paid the Crew family $78.43.
