This series of Prerogative Court transcripts is arranged, with a few exceptions, chronologically by court session. Volume XXXVII, the latest one in the series, refers to in excess of 7,000 colonial inhabitants of the Province of Maryland. For the most part, the transcriptions state the names of the principals (testators, heirs, guardians, witnesses, and so forth), details of bequests, names of slaves, appraisers, and more.
