Publisher Description:

This is the twelfth in a series of volumes of family histories pertaining to the colonial families of the Eastern Shore. Nearly all the families in this volume settled in Old Somerset County, which was eventually split into the counties of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset Counties.
This series draws from probate records (wills, inventories, administrations and balance books), land records (deeds, land patents, ejectments, land commissions), court records (criminal, civil and chancery), tax lists (particularly useful with families of Somerset, Worcester and Wicomico), church records, Bible records, cemetery records, and published family histories (sometimes obscure). Chapters are included for the following families: (N) Alexander, William Alexander, Ballard, Beauchamp, Joseph Boyce, William Boyce, William Bozman (Bosman), Bredell, Brereton, James Brookeshaw (Brookshire), Camperson (Campson), Richard Chambers, Robert Chambers, Copes (Cope, Coap, Coop), William Cord, Andreas Derrickson, Dennis Driskell, Robert Dukes, John Dukes of Somerset County, John Dukes of Worcester County, Elzey, Thomas Gilliss (Gilley), Abraham Heath (Hath), Peden (Paden, Paton), Prior (Pryor, Pryer), Riggin (Riggen), John Roach (Roch), Teague (Teage), John Tyler (Tylor), George Wilson of Somerset, George Wilson of Manonkin Hundred, Robert Wilson of Somerset County, Reverend Thomas Wilson, and Thomas Wilson. "Corrections, Additions, and Comments to Previous Volumes" and an index to full-names and places add to the value of this work.
