Abstracts of the Debt Books of the Provincial Land Office of MARYLAND:
ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY
Volume II – Liber 2: 1760, 1761, 1762, 1763; Liber 3: 1764, 1765, 1766
Volume III – Liber 3: 1767, 1768; Liber 4: 1769, 1770, 1771, 1774
By Vernon L. Skinner, Jr.
The Provincial Land Office of Maryland was responsible for distributing land from 1634 to 1777 on behalf of the Lord Proprietor. The Lord Proprietor’s rent rolls and debt books–the means by which the Lord Proprietor kept track of the rents due him–both commence in 1715 (though some are no longer extant). The surviving rent rolls consist of entries for each tract of land patented, the name of the person for whom the land was originally surveyed, the present owner, acreage, and rent. The debt books’ great value is that they enable the researcher 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. Mr. Skinner’s three new volumes pertaining to the Anne Arundel County Debt Books span the period 1750-1774, with a break in records for 1751-1752. The compiler presents the contents of the Debt Books in tabular form: liber and folio citation, with any pertinent date; name of the person paying the taxes; and name of the tract of land and amount of acreage.

Genealogy.“Genealogy is not fatal—but it’s a grave disease.”—AnonymousGenealogy. “None of us can harbor prejudice against another group of people when we realize that, with the very next document we find, we could be a part of them.”—Elizabeth Shown Mills.
