This series, begun in 2004, is arranged, with a few exceptions, chronologically by court session. (There is a gap in the records from July 13, 1689, to June 1692, owing to the Glorious Revolution, and another, unexplained gap from November 1, 1765, to May 23, 1766.) Volume XLII, the conclusion to this prodigious series, refers to nearly 5,000 colonial inhabitants of the Province of Maryland. As with the previous books, for the most part, the transcriptions state the names of the principals (testators, heirs, guardians, witnesses, and so forth), details of bequests, names of slaves, appraisers, and more.
