Also, he received a land warrant on Feb 19, 1699 and a patent for another 180 acres he called Pinkstons Folly located on Rogue Harbors Branch Creek, near Sheldon Creek, adjoining William Ridgoly's land. (Rogues Harbor Branch in Anne Arrundel county: branch of Little Patuxen River, mouth 1/4 mile northeast of Woodwardville. N 39 deg 04 min, W 76 deg 44 min ) In 1735 he gave this land to his grandson William Inman.

It apparently starts somewhere on Fort George G Meade Military Reservation. It flows southward through the reservation and is joined by Franklin Branch after if flows from Burba Lake. It then flows into Lake Allen, which is on the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and from there it flows into the Little Patuxent River at a point where the Piney Orchard Parkway (Rte 170) crosses the Little Patuxent. The area is generaly known as Woodwardville. On some old maps, Rogue Harbor Branch actually refers to the Little Patuxent River in that stretch.
