"Land Records of Worcester Co. MD 1666-1810" by Ruth T. Dryden (FHL book 975.221 R28d)
Notes on the Book (by the author): Where "no name" or "unnamed" (tract of land) is used, there could be a question as to the verification of this deed. These are the author's determination as to which lands were exchanged so beware of these entries; the author did not have the complete records of resurveyed lands so many places were absorbed into new patents. Widows were entitled to 1/3 of their husbands estates, called Dower Rights, and are indicated when she relinquished her claim on land sold; she is usually referred to as the relic of her husband. When land is sold for 5 sh., it is usually to a relative, daughter, brother, nephew, since this is a token payment. The term "no acreage" means the land was described in the deed but the exact number of acres sold was not included. One moity is one half of the land. The land descends by law to the eldest son, and there may not be a deed or will to indicate this. If there were no sons, to a brother or nephew, or occasionally to daughters and their husbands or dower rights to the widow's second husband.
