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. Most of this material has probably been separated from the whole, but it is not obvious where it goes, so I grouped it together. 8 5" x 8" cards listing records identified as important and sometimes a location for those records. There is a check mark next to some listings that may mean the records were examined or used. 4 cards in assorted sizes, one about a water mill, one a codicil to an unnamed will, one with data about a W. W. Welch of the 1st district, and one with a list of dates and happenings 8 cards of assorted sizes and one small piece of paper all about John Hebb and Westbury Manor 8 1/2" x 11" sheet about the Thomas Family 2 letters from family researchers 4 sheets of a handwritten list provided by Margaret Fresco of physicians who were also householders in the county from 1790-1840 2 typed sheets about two Fenwick physicians 2 page handwritten list of those holding merchant's licenses in 1863-1864 1 sheet tracing the ownership of Pine Land 2 sheets of handwritten notes on the Jones Family 1 handwritten partial sheet on the Smith family
