Thanks !  Very helpful !
 
I strongly suspect that my early Virginia roots (Old Rappahannock Co.)  
stretch across the Potomac into Southern Maryland, so this is very good  
information ! !

Inaugurating a new series of lectures at  the Maryland State Archives, 
renowned genealogist Robert Barnes will shed  light on frequently overlooked 
records that document marriages in the colonial  and early Federal eras.  
Drawing on his fifty years of experience, Barnes  will explore certain scenarios 
in which researchers may not be able to locate  marriage records themselves, 
and how the study of other materials, such as  probate materials, can 
uncover references to marriages taking place in early  Maryland.

Robert (Bob) Barnes, M.Ed., F. M. G. S., is a writer,  researcher, and 
lecturer. He holds the master's degree in Education from what  is now Towson 
University. In June 1995 he retired from teaching after 36 years  in the 
Baltimore City schools. Thereafter he worked part time at the Maryland  State 
Archives as a Reference Archivist and still does extensive research  there. He

Marriages, 1634-1777; Maryland Marriages, 1778-1800; Maryland  Marriages, 
1801-1820; Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759; and Guide to  Research in Baltimore 
City and County. Among his recent works are two volumes  of British Roots of 
Maryland Families, Maryland Marriage Evidences, 1634-1718,  Colonial 
Families of Maryland: Bound and Determined to Succeed, and  Biographical Data from
