This review is the result of a patient search of all available records in our Archives, Land Office, Register of Wills, Record of Deeds, Parish and State Reports, not only in Annapolis, but also in the Peabody Library and Historical Society of Baltimore. To keep it within reasonable scope, I shall chiefly record Richard Warfield's direct line. From it interested descendants may easily trace their records. I leave it as my legacy to the genealogists of the future. Genealogy imposes the most tremendous responsibility that can be put upon mankind. If your race is a good one, it says: "Never dare to tarnish this lustre." If a bad one, it says: "From this hour, nay:- this instant, begin a reform. Do not dare to perpetuate this dishonor." And the genealogist is both, the prophet and physician. " I feel I an1 being led ·by a courtly and gracious kinsman, hack to the homes of my forefath~s, introduced into the charmed circle that gatherro. around the hearths, and there identified as one of them." \Vith the above sentiment as my guide, and the encouraging words of the gifted daughter of an eminent authoress, who can1e down through kindred ancestors, added to the n1any requests for a permanent form of ancestral records, I have determined to issue, in book form, inf.ormation, I trust, of interest to many families who are proud of those pioneers who braved every difficnlty that we, their posterity, n1ight live under a flag which now floats unchal­ lenged ·through all lands and upon all seas.
