This work is a list of about 16,000 marriages recorded between 1778 and 1800 in church records and other contemporary documents. Arranged alphabetically by grooms' names, each entry lists the bride's name, the date, and sometimes parents' names and the source of information. With an index to brides.

No less than seventeen Baltimore newspapers were drawn on in the making of this compilation. The book began as a compilation of marriages and deaths from Baltimore's Federal Gazette, published in an unbroken run from its inception in 1796 through the year 1816. Recognizing that deaths and marriages reported in one newspaper did not always appear in other newspapers and seeking comprehensiveness, Mr. Barnes ultimately decided to include vital records from all Baltimore newspapers for this period--seventeen in all. The text consists of some 7,500 abstracts, identifying, at the very least, an additional 5,000 persons, mainly brides, parents, and relatives. These relationships lend an enriching dimension to the abstracts and elevate them from the humdrum of genealogical records. Entries throughout are arranged in alphabetical order by the name of the deceased or the bridegroom, and there is a surname index to brides and others mentioned in the entry. Each entry is keyed to a specific source, a code for which may be found at the beginning of the volume. Since it is doubtful that the newspapers consulted for this work can be found in a single repository outside of Maryland, the researcher now has access to a range of fugitive material previously out of his reach.

This work contains all the family history articles published in the Maryland Historical Magazine from its inception through 1976. Most of the articles begin with the first member of the family in Maryland and trace descendants in the male line down to the early eighteenth century. Since they have been largely inaccessible to the researcher, we have excerpted these articles in entirety and rearranged them in this comprehensive two-volume work, adding an introduction by a noted Maryland genealogist and personal name indexes. 
The consolidated articles--nearly 100 in number-- now form a reference work of a type long needed in Maryland genealogy, with the range and scholarly authority demanded by the researcher. Following is a list of the families named in the titles to the various articles: Abington, Auld, Ball, Bartlett, Belt, Berry, Bladen, Blakistone, Bonvile, Brengle, Briscoe, Brooke, Caile, Calvert, Chew, Christison, Churchill, Clements, Cohen, Coplestone, Croker, Cromwell, Dent, Dixon, Dorsey, Dunn, Egerton, Ellicott Elliott, Emory, Fairfax, Faris, Fox, Foxworthy, Frisby, Fritchie, Frith, Gary, Gerard, Gist, Goldsborough, Gordon, Gough-Carroll, Hall, Harrison, Harwood, Haskins, Hausil, Hawley-Halley, Highland, Hollyday, Hungerford, Hynson, Jones, Kemp, Key, Lambdin, Lane, LeCompte, Lee, Levis, Linthicum, Lloyd, Loockerman, Lowe, Lowndes, MacKeeles, Marsh, Merryman, Monroe, Morgan, Murdock, Neale, Owens-Owings, Pearce-Levy, Pennock, Plater, Poe, Price, Pritchett, Randall, Ridgely, Rigbie, Rockhold, Sewall, Sharpe, Skinner, Smallwood, Smith, Snead, Sparrow, Sprigg, Stansbury, Stevens, Stewart, Sweetser, Tasker, Taylor, Tilghman, Todd, Webb, Weems, West, Winchester-Owens-Owings-Price, Wise, Wrightson, and Young-Woodward-Hesselius. 
"The scholarship of these articles is high, and GPC is to be congratulated for bringing these articles together in a single publication."-NGSQ (Sept. 1980).

Here for the first time is a book that provides comprehensive genealogical data on the hundreds of families and thousands of individuals who settled Baltimore County during the first hundred years of its existence. Most of the families 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. 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. Prepared by the leading authority on the subject.

This third volume of Maryland marriage records is also compiled primarily from church records. In terms of both arrangement and contents, this work resembles the previous two volumes. In all, approximately 12,500 marriage records are included, bringing the total number of marriages recorded in the three volumes of Maryland Marriages to 40,000.

Maryland Marriages, 1801-1820

In this new and comprehensive collection of genealogies, noted Maryland genealogist Robert Barnes has put together the most authoritative account of the British origins of Maryland families ever published. Families included in this groundbreaking work were chosen by Mr. Barnes based on the following criteria: (a) there was some reason to believe that the families' home parish in Britain had been identified; (b) the families had taken root and left descendants in the New World; and (c) most had arrived before the year 1800. Source materials on which these genealogies are based derive from a combination of Mr. Barnes's own extensive research over the past thirty years and the pioneering work on the origins of Maryland families made by earlier researchers such as Henry F. Waters, Lothrop Withington, Harry Wright Newman, Jack and Marion Kaminkow, and, more recently, Peter Wilson Coldham. 
Some British sources used by Mr. Barnes include printed and manuscript genealogies, county histories and heraldic visitations, works on the peerage and landed gentry, and distinguished periodicals such as The Genealogist, Harleian Society Parish Register Series, and Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica. Clues in Maryland source records were discovered in land records, county and provincial court records, parish registers, probate records, printed and manuscript family histories, and in dozens of well-known periodicals specializing in genealogy and family history. The result is a world-class combination of genealogical source materials that extends the reach of Maryland genealogy well beyond what has been known up until this point. 
Altogether this work contains information on nearly 500 individuals and families whose descendants came to Maryland. Many of the families, such as the Frowicks, Lewkenors, and Wroths, did not come to Maryland themselves but were ancestors through the marriage of daughters of those who did. Some families, such as the Blakistons, Towneleys, and Keenes, sent more than one individual to Maryland. One hundred nineteen of the arrivals (24.1%) had a right to bear a coat of arms; 58 families (11.7%) had a well-proven royal descent, while another 73 (14.6%) had a professional, clerical, or mercantile background. The remaining families comprised indentured servants, convicts (only 6), and a number of individuals of undetermined status. More than half of all settlers came from London and the Home Counties and the northern counties of England. 
In general, families are traced back two or more generations in England and brought forward two or more generations in Maryland. A clear, well-formatted text of more than 500 pages is followed by a 140-page index containing the names of 20,000 individuals--remarkable in themselves in that they can be said to have seeded the population of early Maryland.
