Scope and Content

1 folder ; 11 3/4" x 10" Bayly Janson-La Palme worked with Lois Green Carr on economic data about colonial Maryland. Ms. Janson-La Palme then did her own work on economic data about Saint Mary's County from 1790-1870. She relied on census data, assessment records, estate inventories, etc. Her dissertation was based on this material, although the analysis in the dissertation only went up through 1840. The voluminous handwritten data was later transcribed onto 5 1/4" floppy disks using PC WRITE. That data was run on the mainframe computer at the University of Maryland. The disks, spread sheets, and other printouts are at the Hall of Records of the Maryland Archives. There are many tabulations in this folder. Not all the abbreviations are intuitive. 1783 tax by district 1793 median acres 1793 values total (2 sheets) 1796 (3 sheets) 1800 (3 sheets) 1804 (3 sheets) 1808 (3 sheets) 1812 (3 sheets) 1813 (2 sheets) 1816 (4 sheets) 1821 (4 sheets) 1826 (2 sheets + 2 other sheets) 1830 1834 (2 sheets) 1838 (2 sheets) 1841 (2 sheets) 1848 (4 sheets) 1860 Rate and size of property transfers Arrivals and departures from the tax lists 1813-1820
