- Marriages and Deaths from the Maryland Gazette, 1727-1839
by Robert W Barnes
Published between 1727 and 1839 "The Maryland Gazette" often included
references to marriages and deaths of everyday Maryland citizens. Here
the marriages and deaths of approximately 3,000 Maryland residents are
abstracted. The abstracts are quite informative since they provide you
with information not only on the bride and groom but on ministers, relatives,
and associates as well.
- Marriages and Deaths from Baltimore Newspapers, 1796-1816
by Robert W Barnes
Seventeen Baltimore newspapers were researched in the compilation of
this comprehensive book. At least 5,000 individuals are referenced within
the 7,500 abstracts collected here. Within the abstracts you'll learn
not only dates and details of vital events but names and notes on event
participants (for example, relatives, ministers, and associates).
Each entry is keyed to a specific source - the key to the code is
found at the beginning of the book. This collection of records is
especially valuable because it is unlikely that the newspapers consulted
for this work can be found in a single repository outside of Maryland.

and Support was essentially a pledge to support the cause of the Colonies
in the Revolution. In addition, you'll find an extensive list of civil

George's County. In all approximately 5,000 individuals are referenced

Maryland, this index lists nearly 14,000 brides and grooms with dates

- Maryland Revolutionary Records
by Harry Wright Newman
Derived from close examination of more than 3,000 Revolutionary War
pension claims and bounty land applications, this work is broken out
into five parts. Part I, "Maryland Revolutionary Pensioners," gives
the name of the veteran, his date of birth, rank, name of the group
in which he served, and the name of the pension applicant (the widow,
for example). Part II, "Maryland Federal Bounty Land Grants," gives
the name of the soldier, his rank, acreage received, date the warrant
was issued, and the warrant number. Part III is a list of Maryland soldiers
who did not receive pensions but whose service has been established
through records. Part IV consists of a list of marriages proved through
Maryland pension applications, and Part V is a list of soldiers whose
Revolutionary service was in states other than Maryland.
- A Record of Interments at the Friends Burial Ground, Baltimore,
Maryland
by E. Erick Hoopes and Christina Hoopes
This is a compilation of records that would surely be difficult to find
elsewhere. Within the images of 66 pages you'll find the transcription

appearing on the gravestones or surfacing from their research. You'll
also find an informative history of the Friends Burial Ground written
by the authors.

by Caleb Jones
This orderly book, or military diary, of the Maryland Loyalist Regiment
begins with the evacuation to Philadelphia and covers the march across
the Jerseys, the foraging tour, and cantonment on Long Island. The information
compiled within an orderly book is especially interesting because it
is concerned with day-to-day soldier assignments or troop movements.
In addition, you'll find a partial roster of Maryland Loyalists in the
book's Introduction.
