Abstracts of the Debt Books of the Provincial Land Office of Maryland. Dorchester County, Volume I. Liber 54: 1734-1759; Liber 20: 1734, 1737, 1756; L (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806358161)

The great value of the Provincial Land Office Debt Books is that they enable the genealogist 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. They are now the basis of a series of record abstracts from Vernon L. Skinner, compiler of the 42-volume series covering the Testamentary Proceedings of the Prerogative Court of Maryland. This volume is the first in a series covering Dorchester County. The information in this series is presented in a tabular form as follows: liber and folio citation, with any pertinent date; name of the person paying the taxes; name of the tract of land and amount of acreage. Each volume in the series is indexed by the name of the land owner and his/her track.
