Colonial Families of Maryland II: They Came, They Flourished, and Some Moved OnColonial Families of Maryland II: They Came, They Flourished, and Some Moved On. Robert Barnes. Paperback, 2014, Index, xx + 278 pp.
Whereas the first volume in this series traced the families of roughly 500 colonists who entered Maryland as either indentured servants or convicts, this volume treats a cross-section of Maryland’s colonial population. Researchers will find families living throughout the colony here, though most resided in Anne Arundel or Baltimore County. Some families are followed beyond 1776, including a number who vacated Maryland. In cases of families whose male lines have died out, Mr. Barnes traces the female lines for one or two generations; where colonial women married two or multiple times, the author traces the descendants of all their marriages. Mr. Barnes is more familiar than anyone else with 17th- and 18th-century Maryland families; if your Maryland ancestor is among the following, rest assured that you will be working from the most we know about them to date: Anne Arundel County: Dare, Edwards, Haddin, Hatherly, Leeke, Pickering, Piper, Rowles, Simmons, Sligh, Smith, Swindell-Tanzey, Tongue, Ward, West, Whipps 8003-C |
