Overview and metadata sections
Photocopies of handwritten and typed transcripts of ninety-one 17th and 18th century wills from Cecil County, Maryland. The collection also includes a 20-page photocopied index that corresponds with many of the names of individuals found on wills. Though the photocopies were made circa 1980, the date span of their source material, the original wills, ranges from 1675-1720. The original arrangement of the collection has been preserved which orders the wills according to an unknown numbering system.
