Baltimore County originally embraced all or parts of  present-day Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, and Cecil counties, and here for the  first time is a book that provides comprehensive genealogical data on the  hundreds of families and thousands of individuals who settled in the parent  county during the first hundred years of its existence.
Because of the vast number of families included in the  work--most of them were either migrants from Southern Maryland, Virginia's  Eastern Shore, and Pennsylvania or immigrants from the British Isles whose ranks  included servants, convicts, and Jacobite rebels--it was not possible to carry  any family much later than 1759. Parish registers, administration bonds and  accounts, wills, and inventories were abstracted and used as the nucleus for  each family group, while court records and deeds were combed for supplementary  data. In addition, family histories have been constructed from a series of  family groups starting with the earliest known progenitor, followed by his  children, his grandchildren, and, in some cases, his great-grandchildren.
All in all, this is a stellar work on Baltimore County  families prepared by the leading authority on the subject.
