Military Records: Revolutionary Patriots, MD & DE 1775-1783,
by Henry Peden (CD #133 from Family Tree Maker, 1997) is a compilation of
99,000 names of patriots in the military units of Maryland (militia and
Continentals) and patriots recognized or compensated for nonmilitary
contributions to the cause of liberty. These were originally published
in a series covering many counties of Maryland (see below).
Each patriot's paragraph combines information from the Maryland Archives
with vital records to give additional information about marriage, death,
and residency of the patriot. The print publications are titled
Revolutionary War Patriots of XXX 1775-1783, by H.C. Peden, Jr.
(Family Line Publ., Westminster, MD various dates) where
XXX is the name of a county. Eleven counties have been completed:
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Kent,
Montgomery, Prince George's, Queen Anne, and St. Mary.
