  • The Letters of George Plater
    (front cover) The Letters of George Plater David G. Brown The Letters of George Plater Compiled and Annotated by David G. Brown Copyright: Historic Sotterley, 2013 This book may not be reproduced or copied, in whole or in part, without prior written permission. Preface This collection of George Plater’s letters is a companion publication to the book, George Plater of Sotterley, published in 2014 by the Chesapeake Book Company. Like all gentlemen of his age, Plater relied on letters as his primary connection with distant family, friends and acquaintances. As strange as it may seem in the interconnected twenty-first century, letters were the only way to stay connected other than word-of-mouth news conveyed by traveling friends. Letters are also a primary source for historians trying to understand an individual’s character and thinking. Fortunately, some of George Plater’s letters have survived the two centuries since his death. These fall into two categories: letters he wrote in various official capacities, for example, as Continental Congress delegate, senate president or governor, and his personal letters. Many of his official letters are available in original records and collections of documents. But even in this group many no longer exist. Some of those missing are historically significant. An example would be the report he sent to the governor and Assembly in his capacity as president of the Maryland Convention that ratified the U.S. Constitution. When this report was received, the Maryland Senate instructed the governor and council to preserve it. Nevertheless, it has been lost. Other lost official letters reported on important developments with which Plater was involved at the Continental Congress.

Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania in consultation with J. Richard Rivoire La Plata, Maryland February, 1993 INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the results of a research project initiated in June 1992 and concluded in January 1993. The purpose of this research was to supplement the existing Historic Structures Report (1987) and the Historic Resource Study (1988) with additional historical and architectural documentation to provide as firm a foundation as possible for development of the Cultural Landscape Study and Strategic Plan for the Thomas Stone National Historic Site. The Scope of Work for this project called for additional documentary research on the following topics and sub-topics: A. History and use of the land comprising the Thomas Stone Site during its period of ownership by the Stone family, including land history, agricultural use, slaves and tenants, and identification of former agricultural and ancillary domestic support buildings and related features. B. History and evolution of the main house, including the house in a local architectural context, local and regional architectural precedents, identification of builders and craftsmen, materials relating to the building's architecture and use, biographical data on descending owners/occupants, 1770-1936, the history of furnishings and room usage during the Stone family's ownership, and additional photographic documentation. Due to budgetary and scheduling considerations, this research was limited to investigation of documentary materials in various archival collections in Maryland and Washington, D.C., principally those of the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, the Maryland State Archives-Hall of Records, Annapolis, the Charles County Courthouse and the Southern Maryland Studies Center, both La Plata, and the Library of Congress.

  • Finding the Maryland 400
    Finding the Maryland 400 Since it was launched in May 2013, the Maryland State Archives’ project Finding the Maryland 400 has worked to preserve the memory of the Maryland soldiers who fought at the Battle of Brooklyn, and to serve as a tribute to them. It has done so by uncovering their names and telling their stories. Thanks to the generous and continued support of the Maryland SAR, we have worked to attain these goals in a number of ways: Compiling an online roster of all known Marylanders who fought at the Battle of Brooklyn. This is the first listing of all Maryland soldiers, containing about 850 known names of the roughly 900 men who were present at the battle. It is the most accurate listing to date, because we have been able to refine it over a sustained period, and can draw on the work of others. Centralizing all information known about the fates of the soldiers: who was killed, wounded, or captured. This information is vital, as the search for the Marylanders’ grave site in New York continues. Researching and writing biographies of these soldiers. To date, there are over 225 biographies of Maryland soldiers published online, fully sourced and including many images of original records. Of these biographies, more than 150 were completed during periods of SAR sponsorship, either by SAR-funded individuals or other partner organizations such as Washington College. Public outreach, ensuring that the story of the Maryland 400 is widely known and understood. Project staff have given public lectures and press interviews on the topic, always emphasizing the SAR’s contribution to the project.

No. COPY A. Copyripfht 1903. by John ^Montc^omery Gambrill PREFACE It is very much the fashion now-a-days to write a preface to a text-book that is really an apology for its appearance. If not an apology, at least I am willing to offer an explanation for the writing of this little book. Several histories of Maryland have been published since the Civil War for the alleged purpose of furnishing a text for schools. It cannot be denied that these books have not been altogether reliable historically, and none of them can be said to contain the features of the best modern texts in history, nor to be pedagogically adapted to the uses of the schoolroom. A word on each of these phases of the subject seems necessary. The material used in the preparation of this book includes, it is believed, the principal matter in print relating to the subjects treated, and embraces contemporary v^/^ritings, letters, commis- sions, warrants, newspapers, etc., and the printed state archives; in addition the manuscript sources have been used. The results of exhaustive original research are not embodied in elementary text-books, and while this work is not put forthwith such preten- sions it is hoped that it may justly claim to be much more than the lifeless compilations that so often masquerade as state his- tories (for schools).

And during these fourteen years many hours were spent in untiring research into musty, dusty, and ancient as well as sometimes carelessly kept court records at more than fifty county court houses, besides many additional hours were spent at home in the attempt to untie numerous knots and to establish the parents of many­ a-fatherless Smoot. The loss of the three early registers of the Episcopal Parishes in Charles County has not made it one of the most simple counties in which to work-besides, many deed books and the administration accounts for several years are missing. The records of Trinity Parish have been preserved since its establishment in 1750, though they contain only· meager Smoot data.
