This transcription is taken from the Book of Distributions for the years 1778 to 1784 although most do not reference a date. It has, however, been recorded in the same order as written in the book. This is the earliest book I have found for such recordings. [Records Located at Maryland State Archives - MSA 781; Loc 1-50-7-46]
