Abstracts of the Inventions of the Prerogative Court of Maryland 1748-1751 (Libers 37-47) - Genealogy Research & Historical Legal Documents for Ancestry Tracing

All probate records were required to be filed with the Prerogative Court of Maryland up until the year 1777. Inventories were taken if the estate had moveable property, with lists including things such as clothing, household items, occupational tools, and more. Some items in the inventory may offer valuable information on the descendant, such as his wealth, occupation, and lifestyle. The abstracts provided in this publication cover the years 1748–1751 and include information about the inventory, name of the decedent, deed references, county, amount cited in the inventory, date of the inventory, date of approval by the administrator, and the names of the appraiser, creditor, and next of kin. The author concludes this work with a full-name index.
