No other book offers such a comprehensive brief history of the Maryland and Virginia colonies and their place within the emerging British Empire.

The book provides a comprehensive listing of taxables from the hundreds that later formed the counties of Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset. It includes names of free males aged 16 and older, chargeable widows, and enslaved individuals aged 16 and older. The records span multiple years, although the year 1732 is absent and 1737 has incomplete data for two hundreds. This resource is valuable for genealogical research and understanding the demographics of the region during that period.
