Abstracts of the Testamentary Proceedings of the Prerogative Court of Maryland. Volume XXV, 1746-1749. Liber: 32 (Pp. 32-256) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806354866)

The work at hand is the twenty-fifth volume in this series to be published. The Prerogative Court was the focal point for probate in colonial Maryland. All matters of probate went directly to the Prerogative Court, which was located in Maryland's colonial capital, Annapolis. The Prerogative Court was also the colony's court for equity cases--resolution of disputes over the settlement and distribution of an estate. This volume is derived from 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, located at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis.
