6. Clerks of Counties

The counties appear in the order of their establishment. Except where
otherwise indicated these clerks resided in their counties and were Protestants
born of Protestant connections. After 1667 County Clerks were appointed by
the Secretary in Maryland. The Constitution of 1776 gave their appointment
to the several county courts. These lists are compiled from the Archives of
Maryland and the county land records and court proceedings. Specific source
citations are given for the clerks of St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, for the
colonial records of these two counties have burned.
