Baltimore Mayor. He served as the first Mayor of Baltimore, Maryland, from 1797 to 1804, serving three successive terms and part of a fourth (his first term was shortened about three months by a change of the date of the election). He was largely responsible for organizing the machinery for governing the City, which, up to that time (1797), had been "Baltimore Town", with a Board of Commissioners. The funds for the newborn City, until taxes were due, were raised by lottery.
