This is a compilation of all marriages recorded from 1634 to 1777 in church records and other documents that are on deposit at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore or the Hall of Records in Annapolis. The marriage records were extracted from parish records, ministers' returns of licenses, and printed sources, including the Maryland Historical Magazine and the Archives of Maryland, and refer to some 24,000 persons. All marriages are arranged alphabetically by the name of the groom, following which are the date of marriage and the bride's name.
