The Lord Proprietor's rent rolls and the debt books, the means by which the Lord Proprietor kept track of the rents due him, both commence in 1715 (though some are no longer extant). The surviving rent rolls consist of entries for each tract of land patented, the name of the person for whom the land was originally surveyed, the present owner, acreage, and rent. Alienations, or subsequent sales and leases of the piece of land, are also included. The debt books' great value is that they enable the researcher to track land ownership over various years in cases of intestate estates, land inherited by women, and land that is not specified in a will.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe information is presented here in tabular form: liber and folio citation, with any pertinent date; name of the person paying the taxes; and name of the tract of land and amount of acreage.

The 1734 debt book not only cites the hundred that the taxpayer is living in, it also cites the hundred in which the land is located. The leading Somerset landowners were: Rev. Alexander Adams, Madam Mary Hampton, Col. Robert King, Capt. Henry Lowes, James Martin, and William Whittington.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVernon L.

Following the American Revolution, these wills were sent to the Register of Wills of each Maryland county, to be recorded there and later returned to Annapolis. The central file of colonial wills was calendared, and an all-name index to them was prepared by James Magruder (and ultimately published by Genealogical Publishing Co.). The county sets of colonial wills have also been indexed by the local Register of Wills offices, and in a number of cases those indexes refer to people not found in Magruder's index because some papers were lost during the transfer of the wills. Of even greater importance, none of the wills for the post-colonial period in Maryland have been worked on at all, with the exception of those for St. Mary's County, which were printed in alphabetical order in the periodical \u003cem\u003eChronicles of St. Mary's\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work rectifies these shortcomings for the Maryland counties of St. Mary's and Somerset by providing a complete index to the wills recorded in those counties. The index to St. Mary's County wills, which is based on the one which appeared in the \u003cem\u003eChronicles of St. Mary's\u003c\/em\u003e between 1961 and 1968, is arranged alphabetically by the name of the testator and gives the date and source of the original will. The Somerset index is arranged chronologically and thereunder alphabetically. Thus, all testators whose surnames begin with A and who died between 1664 and 1667 are grouped together, followed by those whose surnames begin with A and died between 1667 and 1750, and so on. Altogether, about 5,000 wills for St. Mary's County and 7,500 wills for Somerset County, many of them dated prior to 1800, are indexed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan Hume\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1970), 2003, paper, 277 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806346663\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9149\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41774319075446,"sku":"102-9149","price":38.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9149-1500px.png?v=1777310671"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/maryland-somerset-county\/census-records+maryland.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
