Land owners acquired their plots by means of a warrant, followed by a patent. Information concerning these land records is found in the Warrants and Patents series of the Provincial Land Office located at the Maryland State Archives.

The surviving Rent Rolls consist of entries for each tract of land patented, plus the name of the person for whom the land was originally surveyed, the present owner, the acreage, and the rent. Alienations, or subsequent sales and leases of the piece of land, are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Debt Books list persons owning land, giving the names of the parcel(s) and the acreage of each tract that the person owned for each year rent was collected. They are arranged by county, by year, and then by the name of the person paying the rent. There are a total of 54 libers, covering all of Maryland's counties. The extant Debt Books for the Western Shore counties are essentially annual, dating from 1753 to 1774. (The Debt Books for 1750 for five Western Shore counties, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Charles, Prince George's, and Frederick, are found in the Calvert Papers, located at the Maryland State Archives.)

Since Charles is also a \"burned county\" (i.e., the courthouse burned and no probate or land records exist prior to 1777), its Debt Books take on added importance.
