Edward Fell
attributed to John Hesselius, c 1764
A militia officer, Edward Fell, inherited "Fell's Prospect" from his father. In 1763, his cousin John Bond, his father-in-law, surveyed the land that is now known as "Fell's Point." Within two years savvy merchants and ship builders invested in this waterfront property along the deepest waters of the harbor. |
