3 Owings, 148-9. Owings contradicts himself in dating
Briscoe's Calvert County term. On page 148 he states that Briscoe
served in Anne Arundel County until he was transferred to Calvert County
in 1694. On page 149, however, Owings states that Briscoe was appointed
to Clerk of Calvert County about May 1695.
