Maryland and Virginia Colonials

Here is a true giant of a work covering in full some twenty-two colonial Maryland and Virginia families and also treating hundreds of collateral families. Mrs. Doliante not only establishes the Virginia and Maryland ancestry of the twenty-two main families but also corrects many longstanding inaccuracies and dispels some cherished myths many repeated uncritically in one publication after another such as the non-existent fourth wife of Henry Ridgley the erroneous ancestry of Richard Duckett Sr. and the putative maternity of the Sprigg children.
