Abstracts of the Testamentary Proceedings of the Prerogative Court of Maryland. Volume XXXVI: 1768-1

This series of Prerogative Court transcripts is arranged, with a few exceptions, chronologically by court session. Volume XXXVI, the latest one in the series, refers to roughly 7,000 colonial inhabitants of the Province of Maryland. For the most part, the transcriptions state the names of the principals (testators, heirs, guardians, witnesses, and so forth), details of bequests, and names of slaves, appraisers, and more.
