MARYLAND REVOLUTIONARY RECORDS
This extremely useful work derives from an examination of more than 3,000 Revolutionary War pension claims and bounty land applications. Part I, "Maryland Revolutionary Pensioners," gives the name of the veteran, his date of birth, rank, name of the group in which he served, and the name of the pension applicant (the widow, for example). Part II consists of "Maryland Federal Bounty Land Grants," giving the name of the soldier, his rank, acreage received, date the warrant was issued, and the warrant number. Part III is a list of Maryland soldiers who did not receive pensions but whose service has been established through records. Part IV consists of a list of marriages proved through Maryland pension applications, and Part V is a list of soldiers whose Revolutionary service was in states other than Maryland. - United States - Maryland Military - Revolutionary War
 
THE FLOWERING OF THE MARYLAND PALATINATE
The actual settlement of the Province of Maryland in 1634 was undertaken directly by Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimores second son. Accompanying the younger Calvert on the Ark and the Dove were 200 adventurers whose part in the expedition and later role in the settlement of the colony forms the basis of this present work, now acknowledged as the definitive study of the first settlers of the Province of Maryland. In addition to a succinct history of the Calvert family and the milieu in which they flourished in England, The Flowering of the Maryland Palatinate describes the lives and times of the 200 adventurers who participated in the original expedition to Maryland, their part in the founding and settlement of the colony, and the development of colonial Marylands distinctive manorial system.The bulk of the volume, of course, consists of biographical and genealogical sketches of the 200 adventurers, each developed in meticulous detail from surviving documents by the famous Maryland genealogist, Harry Wright Newman. From contemporary court records, letters, and miscellaneous papers, Mr. Newman has wrought a definitive history of these early Marylanders and has accomplished, single-handedly, for the passengers of the Ark and the Dove, what has taken a legion of researchers to do for the passengers of the Mayflower. - United States - Maryland -
 
THE MARYLAND SEMMES AND KINDERED FAMILIES: A Genealogical History of Marmaduke Semme(s), Gent., and His Descendants, Including the Allied Families of Greene, Simpson, Boarman, Matthews, Thompson, Middleton, and Neale
More than half a century ago, Raphael Thomas Semmes of Georgia bequeathed his collection of genealogical data concerning Semmes and related families to the Maryland Historical Society. This voluminous collection of genealogical data relates to some of the earliest and most prominent of Marylands settlers. The service of Harry Wright, a noted American genealogist and author of numerous Maryland genealogical publications, was secured to compile this interesting history of several of Marylands early and distinguished families. The Semmes family of Maryland is considered to be of Norman origin, with variations of the name, such as Sim, Sims, Simms, Syms, Simme, appearing in England after the Conquest. Marmaduke Semme, the progenitor of the Semmes family of Southern Maryland, was in the Province as early as 1662. He married the widow, Fortuna Mitford, and they had four children—Anthony, James, John and Marmaduke. Individual chapters are devoted to: Marmaduke Semme (16__-1693)—the emigrant, Anthony Semmes, James Semmes, John Semmes, Marmaduke Semmes, Governor Thomas Greene, Thomas Simpson, Major Willam Boarman, Thomas Matthews, William Thompson, Robert Middleton, and Captain James Neale. Each chapter is complete with genealogical sketches of descendants that contain varying amount of biographical information. - Family Genealogy - Family Genealogy - Semmes
 
TO MARYLAND FROM OVERSEAS
Harry Wright Newmans last book, To Maryland From Overseas, was published just before his death in 1983, but the edition was so small that few people know of it. This work has documentation on the British and Continental origins of 1,400 people who settled in Maryland between 1634 and the beginning of the Federal Period. Each colonist is dealt with in a separate paragraph, the contents of which range from abstracts of wills, deeds, patents, judgment records, pension records, and naturalizations to abstracts of private papers, visitations, and parish registers. - United States - Maryland -
