1. Before 1752, when the Gregorian replaced the Julian calendar, dates from January through March 24 are given in Old Style (e.g. 14 February 1722/23). The English Calendar (New Style) Act of 1750 took effect in 1752, with the day following September 2 becoming September 14 and the year 1753 began on the following January 1 (An Act for Regulating the Commencement of the Year; and for the Correcting the Calendar now in Use).

2.The law record for 1640-1692 is also contained in two compilations, Liber W.H. & L and L.L. No. 1.

3. The Calvert Papers is a collection of over 1300 documents containing the official and personal papers of the six Lords Baltimore and other members of the Calvert family, proprietors of the colony of Maryland. The originals can be found at the Maryland Historical Society.
