Abstracts of the Testamentary Proceedings of the Prerogative Court of Maryland. Volume XXIV, 1744-1746. Libers: 31 (Pp. 489-679), 32 (Pp. 1-22) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806354712)

With the volume at hand, compiler Vernon Skinner has assembled his twenty-fourth volume of transcriptions in his series "Abstracts of the Testamentary Proceedings of the Prerogative Court of Maryland," based upon this important source for Maryland genealogists. In compiling the series, Mr. Skinner has worked primarily from microfilm copies of the Prerogative Court records; however, when necessary to resolve problems of paleography, he has consulted the original manuscripts, which are located at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. The series is arranged, volume by volume, chronologically by court session. Volume XXIV consists of abstracts for the period 1744-46, as found in the balance of Liber 31 and the first 22 pages of Liber 32 of the records. In all, the latest book in this distinguished series refers to an additional 7,000 colonial inhabitants of the Province of Maryland.
