Robert W. Barnes, the author of Baltimore County  Families, 1659-1759, is our leading authority on Maryland’s namesake county. Mr.  Barnes, who has also compiled a number of Maryland marriage collections, is well  aware of the fact that references to marriages are not confined to  ecclesiastical parish registers—the principal source before 1800. For example,  in the case of some Maryland German churches, pastors kept marriage records (but  not baptismal or death records) in separate books. More pervasively, references  to marriages exist in probate, land, court, guardian, and apprenticeship  records, as well as in church vestry books.
For this companion volume to Baltimore County Families,  Mr. Barnes has unearthed over 10,000 marriages from the aforementioned indirect  sources. Arranged alphabetically by the surname of the groom (in most cases),  the entries provide the names of the bride and groom, date of marriage, and the  source. In many instances we also learn the name of persons related to the  spouses, name of the officiating minister, or other information, as in the  following illustration:
Richardson, Nathan, son of William and Margaret, m. on    30 d. 8 m. 1735, Elizabeth Crockett, daughter of John and Mary (“Records of    West River Meeting,” QRSM:31). In Oct. 1747 Richardson was named as a    brother-in-law in the will of John Crockett who also named Nathan’s son Nathan    (MWB 25:161 abst. by Gibb).
The author has expanded the scope of the work to include  unhappy marriages, children placed with a guardian or bound out for  apprenticeship, and bastardy cases. Complete with a full-name index and a vast  bibliography, Baltimore County Marriage Evidences and Family Relationships,  1659-1800 is a major contribution to Maryland genealogical literature.
