[In 1803, Crawley was appointed to the post of Surveyor-General of Cape Breton which later became known by the title of Surveyor of Lands in 1809. ... his major contributions to life in Cape Breton rested with his work as a surveyor. As a surveyor, he was responsible for dividing lots of land for settlers; preparing plans, descriptions, and affidavits; and completing the grants for purchased lands. Thomas Crawley retired as a surveyor in approximately 1834.

"27 Henry Archer"
# 27 is 54 Charlotte Street (Corner of Amelia Street and Charlotte Street) and exists in one of two Blocks named "A": The first "A" exists between DesBarres Street and Amelia Street, and the second "A" to the south of it , that includes #27, exists between Amelia Street and Yorke Street. The plan, though dated 1785, has additions showing it to be later, such as "old Government House and Gardens now Court House [built 1786] and Jail." This plan does not indicate buildings - rather it just puts names to lots.
