Land Grants of the Middle Neck Hundred of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1650 - 1704

This book offers a compilation of abstracted patent documents and drawings of tracts in the Middle Neck Hundred of Anne Arundel County, Maryland during the years 1650 through 1704. Until 1671, Maryland had geographical subdivisions that served as voting districts known as hundreds, with Middle Neck being one of the earliest to be established in Anne Arundel.

The land grants, which are grouped by area and arranged in alphabetical order, have been sourced from land records held in the Maryland Hall of Records, as the original records were burned in a courthouse fire in 1704. The patent drawings follow the land entries and have been sorted in the same manner. The author also provides a handful of illustrations including maps of the area and drawn tracts. An index of tract owners, an index of people, and an index of tracts are used to conclude this work.
