(3)Footnotes:Provenance Acquired by the Edmondson family of Baltimore and thence by family descent.FootnoteThe crest appears to be that of the GOUGH family and the family is identified in many indexes as of Ireland and Somerset. However Burkes General Armory leads to an identification for the GOUGH family of Oldfallings and Perry Hall, Staffordshire.Blazon of the crest: a boars head couped, pierced by a spearHarry Dorsey Gough (1745-1808) was a prominent 18th-century merchant, planter, and patron of the fledgling Methodist Church in Baltimore Maryland, in the early United States.Harry's father was the English merchant Thomas Gough, who emigrated to the United States prior to the outbreak of its Revolution against Britain. As his new home was near Patapsco Ferry and his new wife had extensive holdings in the colonies, Thomas would later side with the revolutionaries against the Crown. Thomas had already married the American Sophia Dorsey, who bore him Harry on January 28, 1745, in Annapolis.In addition to his father's wealth, Harry inherited £70,000 at a young age and became a successful merchant. The money came from his English half-brother John William Gough (1729–1767), by Thomas Gough's first wife Ann Brooksby. John's year-old son was subsequently brought to America and raised in Maryland. Confusingly, this nephew was also named Harry Dorsey Gough (1766–1807) and his son (1793–1867) would later also bear the same name.The eldest Harry Dorsey Gough's estate eventually comprised 2,000 acres (810 ha) along the Great Gunpowder River northeast of Baltimore. Much of this was Corbin Lee's 1,000-acre (400 ha) plantation The Adventure, which Gough purchased for £5,000 in 1774 from Archibald Buchanan after Corbin's death in 1773. He renamed it Perry Hall in honour of his family's ancestral home in Staffordshire and completed construction of its 16-room manor in 1776. Many years later, modern Baltimore's Bel Air Road (U.S. Route 1) was known as 'Gough's Road' or 'Perry Hall Road'.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
