Record of proceedings of commissioners appointed by the court to perpetuate or restore land boundaries, 1716-1794, and to divide or sell inherited land, 1791-1829. Land boundary documents usually consist of petitions, court orders, oaths of commissioners, depositions, and commission reports, but only a few surveys and plats. Estate proceedings contain petitions, court orders, oaths of commissioners, commission reports, and some surveys and plats. The earliest records, 1716-1718, are available on film in series CM1228. The pages from two books, C94-3 and C94-4, that contain plats are included in (Plat References, AA, Index) in series S1551. An index of names in C94-4, 1791-1805, appears in (Miscellaneous Records, AA, Index) in series S1405 where the record is cited as Guardians for Infants. This card index encompasses so many other Anne Arundel County records that the extraction of names only for the one volume of land commissions is not cost effective. Instead the Archives will use index entries from series S1551 as the beginning of an electronic database for access, but will rely mainly on the records themselves in order to insure completeness.
