Notes

Event

In 1727 Pryor Smallwood, father of Bayne Smallwood, appeared before the magistrate of the Maryland Court of Appeals and Errors.7 The record refers to a judgment against Daniel Bryon in the amount of Ten Thousand pounds of Tobacco. This demonstrates that many of the local residents of the area did not use British currency for purposes of trade and/or settling debts, but, rather, used the most important commodity in the region - tobacco. To many, tobacco was the currency of the new world.
