Petitions and Judgments Cecil County Court, 1717-1732. Abstracts with Selected Transcriptions

The court records of Cecil County, Maryland, provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives and concerns of our ancestors in colonial Cecil County. This volume contains abstracts from the petitions presented to the court during the years 1717-1732, a period when the county's basic infrastructure and organization were just being established.

Every action coming before the court has been abstracted and the name of every individual mentioned in each original court record is included. In addition to the abstracts many of the texts have been transcribed in full and included in the Appendix.
