Baltimore County originally embraced all or parts of  present-day Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, and Cecil counties, and here for the  first time is a book that provides comprehensive genealogical data on the  hundreds of families and thousands of individuals who settled in the parent  county during the first hundred years of its existence.
Because of the vast number of families included in the  work--most of them were either migrants from Southern Maryland, Virginia's  Eastern Shore, and Pennsylvania or immigrants from the British Isles whose ranks  included servants, convicts, and Jacobite rebels--it was not possible to carry  any family much later than 1759. Parish registers, administration bonds and  accounts, wills, and inventories were abstracted and used as the nucleus for  each family group, while court records and deeds were combed for supplementary  data. In addition, family histories have been constructed from a series of  family groups starting with the earliest known progenitor, followed by his  children, his grandchildren, and, in some cases, his great-grandchildren.
All in all, this is a stellar work on Baltimore County  families prepared by the leading authority on the subject.

This Book is in  new condition. Description per the publisher;
This is the most famous of all ships'  passenger lists and historically the most important single-volume list of  English-speaking immigrants of the colonial period ever published. Transcribed  from the records of the British State Paper Office, it contains the names of  over 11,000 immigrants with their ages, former places of residence, and the  names of ships in which they embarked. The use of the book is greatly enhanced  by a sixty-six page index, giving the Christian as well as the family name of  all immigrants cited in various lists throughout the work.
"It has never been superseded and remains  the most outstanding of its kind in genealogical reference."--
