Scope and Content Note
The collection is divided into six series: Militia Enlistments, Maryland Line Enlistments, Accounts of Provisions, Pay Accounts and Payrolls, Oaths of Allegiance, and miscellaneous records.
Series 1, Militia Enlistments are Maryland militia papers including enlistments, muster rolls, and rosters.
Series 2, Maryland Line Enlistments are the enlistments, muster rolls, and rosters pertaining to the seven Maryland regiments, the Maryland Artillery, and other regiments attached to the Maryland Line e.g., the German Regiment. Also included in this section are enlistments, rosters, and muster rolls pertaining to the Flying Camp and the Independent Companies of Maryland. These items were added to this section because the Flying Camp, the Independent Companies, and Smallwood's Regiment were the nucleus around which the Maryland Line was formed in December 1776.
Series 3, Accounts of Provisions, consists of records of provisions and clothing that were issued to the Maryland Line mainly between 1779 and the end of the war. The regiments mentioned are the seven Maryland regiments, the Maryland Artillery, Rawling's Regiment, the German Regiment, and detachments of the Maryland Line at Annapolis and Frederick.
Series 4, Pay Accounts and Payrolls, includes documents concerning money transactions from the beginning of the war to the last settlements of pay disputes in the late 1780's. Most of these items concern the payment of Maryland Continental Troops during and after the war.
Series 5, Oaths of Allegiance, consists of documents signed by the residents of the respective counties. Cecil, St. Mary’s, Washington, and Worcester Counties are represented in this collection, as are oaths submitted to the Governor and Council. See Appendix A below for a detailed inventory of the contents of this series.
Series 6, Miscellaneous records, consists of documents that did not fit comfortably within any of the five series defined above.
Items within each series are arranged by date.

Appendix A: Oaths of Fidelity
MdHR M 3218
Microfilmed by the
Maryland Hall of Records (Maryland State Archives)
83 759 - 11/16/82
The Oath of Fidelity was instituted by Laws of Maryland 1777, Chapter 20, An Act for the Better Security of Government. Every free male 18 years and older was required to subscribe to an oath renouncing the King of England and to pledge allegiance to the revolutionary government of Maryland. Oaths were administered by the magistrates of each county before March 1, 1778. One list of those who subscribed to the oath was to be kept at the county court and another sent to the governor and Council in Annapolis.
The lists from MS 1146 of individuals who took the oath are those which were sent to Annapolis. These were collected by J. Thomas Scharf from the surviving records of the governor and Council. The collection is significant since the Oaths of Fidelity for St. Mary's and Washington counties have not survived among the records of their respective county courts.
Related materials in this collection are certificates of individuals who subscribed to the oath required by Congress. An individual in federal service was supposed to send a certificate of having taken the oath of allegiance to Congress to the governor of the state in which he was a resident. The governor was then to transmit the certificates to Congress.
Finally, there are several Oaths of Fidelity administered by Maryland's governor and Council and depositions by citizens who had failed to take the Oath before March 1, 1778.
