In 1715 Edward Crew leased Fish Hall, part of Fishall Pattent of 1664, for 11 years at the yearly rate of one ear of corn. He 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, and on April 18, 1866 it was condemned for a public landing, for which the County Commissioners paid the Crew family $78.43.
