John,

My notes on Cornelius Cannedy:

CORNELIUS CANEDY
Thomas Gerard came to MD in 1637, became the largest landowner in the Province, 11,400 acres and the grant included provisions for establishing a Court Baron and Court Leet. Sometime between 1638 and 1641 he established his residence on Longworth’s Pt (now known as Colton’s Pt). The manor house was probably erected in 1644 for on Jan. 11, 1643, Gerard made an agreement with Cornelius Canedy, a brickmaker, whereby Canedy undertook to make brick for Gerard for a period of 3 years. This house was destroyed by Richard Ingle during the Ingle Rebellion. The 2nd house was destroyed by the British on Jun 13, 1781, during the Rev. War and one of Gerard’s descendants, Herbert Blackistone, was carried off as a POW.

Crime and Punishment in Early Maryland by Raphael Semmes, 1938.
Although there is was no divorce under the Catholic proprietors, there were instances of separation. When for example, the relations between Cornelius Cannady, a brickmaker by trade, and his wife, Susan, became strained, the question as to what should be done was referred to Richard Preston and Michael Brooke, who were to act as arbitrators. When these two men came to the conclusion that the Cannadys were determined “to live asunder,” the arbitrators drew up an agreement by the terms of which Susan was to be paid one thousand pounds of tobacco by her husband and also to retain her own household goods. After this was done, Susan promised that she would not in the future demand or expect any further “allowance, maintenance, or subsistence” from her
husband.
