I have wanted to do this for some time but so far I have not been able to find the microfiche copy of the following abbreviated records I got from the Talbot Co., MD library records.TALBOT COUNTY MARYLAND LAND RECORDS . . . < George, these are Deeds, not estate records. You can find them on www.mdlandrec.net If you have not already registered, do so, and they will email you a password. Your source has garbled the designations of the Deeds volumes. You will want to use the Talbot County indexes. There are two series of indexes. Use the more recent series (not Original Index) for the earliest time period (up to 1832); select first half of alphabet. This is not an alphabetized index but a list. Overall, arranged by first letter of surname and within each letter is a list for each Deeds volume. The 'D' surnames start on page 0089 of this index. The first 2 entries you asked about are listed in the right-hand column under Deed Book RF 9. Good hunting, Judy</HTML>
