One man was found to have served as a vestryman, and eight men held civil office. Three served in the military. Fifty-eight men and two women performed some neighborly service, such as witnessing a will or serving as guardian to minor children; 38 men performed some community service, such as signing a petition or appraising estates; 49 men and seven women were summoned to civil or criminal court; 108 of the men left an estate at death, and eight moved to another state.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLest genealogists conclude that this work is a mere recitation of statistics, we hasten to add that the text itself comprises solidly researched sketches of Maryland servants and convicts and their descendants, including 102 that are traced to the third generation or beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert W.

Families included in this groundbreaking work were chosen by Mr. Barnes based on the following criteria: (a) there was some reason to believe that the families' home parish in Britain had been identified; (b) the families had taken root and left descendants in the New World; and (c) most had arrived before the year 1800. Source materials on which these genealogies are based derive from a combination of Mr. Barnes's own extensive research over the past thirty years and the pioneering work on the origins of Maryland families made by earlier researchers such as Henry F. Waters, Lothrop Withington, Harry Wright Newman, Jack and Marion Kaminkow, and, more recently, Peter Wilson Coldham.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome British sources used by Mr. Barnes include printed and manuscript genealogies, county histories and heraldic visitations, works on the peerage and landed gentry, and distinguished periodicals such as \u003ci\u003eThe Genealogist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarleian Society Parish Register Series\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCollectanea Topographica et Genealogica\u003c\/i\u003e. Clues in Maryland source records were discovered in land records, county and provincial court records, parish registers, probate records, printed and manuscript family histories, and in dozens of well-known periodicals specializing in genealogy and family history.

Many of the families, such as the Frowicks, Lewkenors, and Wroths, did not come to Maryland themselves but were ancestors through the marriage of daughters of those who did. Some families, such as the Blakistons, Towneleys, and Keenes, sent more than one individual to Maryland. One hundred and nineteen of the arrivals (24.1%) had a right to bear a coat of arms; 58 families (11.7%) had a well-proven royal descent, while another 73 (14.6%) had a professional, clerical, or mercantile background. The remaining families comprised indentured servants, convicts (only 6), and a number of individuals of undetermined status. More than half of all settlers came from London and the Home Counties and the northern counties of England.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn general, families are traced back two or more generations in England and brought forward two or more generations in Maryland.

Also included are marriages recorded in the registers of certain individual ministers that are not housed in either repository. As in the preceding volumes of \u003ci\u003eMaryland Marriages\u003c\/i\u003e , covering 1634-1777 and 1778-1800 respectively, marriages are arranged alphabetically by the name of the groom, followed by the date of the marriage and the bride’s name. In addition, information found in the records pertaining to place of origin, parentage, or previous marital status is also given. In all, approximately 12,500 marriage records are included in this volume, bringing the total number of marriages recorded in the three volumes of \u003ci\u003eMaryland Marriages\u003c\/i\u003e to 40,000!
