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.
One page photocopy of a page in the Chronicles that listed boat owners or captains, pilots, or sailors found in the 1860 and 1870 censuses.
Four page photocopy of Beitzell's compilation of merchant vessels associated with Saint Mary's County. This was also published in the Chronicles .
Ms. Janson-La Palme's list of boat owners and boats. The abbreviations are not all defined. This list is alphabetical by the owner.
