Download or read book Dorchester County written by A. M. Foley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorchester County's special blend of past and present, treasured by locals, appeals also to visitors from all walks of life. Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter, performers Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Ella Fitzgerald, and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors James Michener and Richard Ben Cramer all enjoyed sojourning here. Dorchester County is surrounded almost entirely by scenic waters: the Choptank and Nanticoke Rivers, Hunting Creek, and the Chesapeake Bay. A cruise along these waterways offers long stretches of pristine marsh and uplands that transport visitors to earlier days, when Native Americans traveled these same waters in log canoes. Occasional glimpses of historic homes evoke colonial times. Within these watery boundaries, this largest of Maryland's counties encompasses landscapes and activities to gladden any heart. Railroad and history buffs, hunters, birdwatchers, epicures, and visitors from more hectic locales all find their heart's content in this land of pleasant living.

Download or read book Roger Hooper and the Sheriff Hoopers Island s First One Hundred Years written by Jacqueline Simmons Hedberg and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the first 100 years of the settlement of Hoopers Island in Dorchester County on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Based on an event from January 1753, reported in the records of the Maryland Assembly, in which the sheriff charges tobacco planter Roger Hooper with unpaid quit-rents and threatens to seize two of Hooper's slaves. On a small scale, ROGER HOOPER AND THE SHERIFF is the story of one colonial tidewater family who settled on an island on the east side of the Chesapeake Bay. On a larger canvas, through the story of this family, one can learn about the development of colonial Maryland--the difficulties the pioneers experienced, their relationship to the Indians, the importance of tobacco, the change to slave labor, the deterioriation of religious toleration, the role of women, and, finally, the economic changes that eventually isolated one side of the Bay from the other.

Download or read book Side lights on Maryland History written by Hester Dorsey Richardson and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark of Maryland genealogy consists of a large number of meticulously researched articles which were designed, in part, to counter the "scurrilous" claim that Maryland was settled largely by convicts and indentured servants. It is as a compilation of family histories and source records that the work shines, however, for it is the embodiment of the very best in genealogical orthodoxy. Volume I contains seventy-five chapters, or articles, on a variety of subjects, among them articles on the passengers on the Ark and the Dove, the first Maryland settlers, muster rolls of colonial militia, original members of the Society of the Cincinnati in Maryland, the names of 1,000 early settlers in Maryland with their land surveys, Scotch exiles in Maryland, etc. Volume II consists entirely of genealogical sketches which carry over 100 Maryland families back to the immigrant ancestor. Profusely illustrated with coats of arms, photographs, and rare portraits!

Download or read book Dorchester Town Records 1632 1686 written by Dorchester Town Records and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, is now part of the city of Boston. In 1880 the city fathers authorized the publication of some of the oldest records of the old town of Dorchester, spanning the period 1632-1686. That publication was revised in 1883, forming the basis for this Clearfield Company reprint. Town records, not unlike county order books, are a miscellany of colonial antiquity. For example, the oldest record in the volume (dated January 1632) authorizes the granting of lots to various settlers. In April of the same year, the town commissioners specified how fences were to be constructed along the town marsh and how many feet of fencing each settler was responsible for. Other entries list the town's freemen with an indication of their acreage and livestock, announce the election of the town's selectmen, award payments to residents for services rendered to the town, set the minister's salary, proscribe various acts of misconduct, authorize road construction, order the construction of schools or the hiring of teachers, and so on. In all, these town records place thousands of persons in Dorchester during its first half-century of existence, and the reader can easily find them thanks to the detailed index at the back of the volume.
