Douglas, thank you for the Mutual Assurance Society background - this is phenomenal and 
really helps clarify.

As far as "the Clifton house," which I am researching, many older publications cite the date 
of construction as 1809 but I cannot find any primary sources to confirm this.  The earliest 
Mutual Assurance Society policy (not Sandborn map as I mistakenly wrote to someone else) 
is 1818.  There is evidence I have uncovered as well as articles from the turn of the 20th 
century from Richmonders at the time that the house could've been constructed and at least 
designed in the late 1790s.   

One of these early 1900s accounts notes the 1805 Madison map.  I will see if the 1807 
Madison map Ms. Batson mentions is perhaps the one in question, or if the alternate "MSS?" 
series Mr. Burnett mentions helps. 

Thank you everyone for helping.
