The first edition was awarded the Sumner A. Parker Prize by the Maryland Historical Society in 2014.

The second edition of this work features all descendants of Thomas Gantt I (b.Bulwick, N. Hants; to Md. 1654; d Calvert Co 1692) and Ann Fielder (b. ca.1662 Hants; d PG CO. 1726) in the first six to ten generations.

Ann Fielder is an important new addition to American colonial MD/USA Gateway ancestors. Her parents, Capt. William Fielder (ca. 1620–1679) of Burrough Court Manor and Marjorie Cole (1628–1699) of Lyss Abbey, Hants, have proven multiple royal and magna carta ancestral lines; sixty extensive British pedigrees are documented in these volumes. The
name Fielder has been inherited in multiple generations of the Beall, Belt, Berry, Bowie,
Calvert, Clagett, Denwood, Dorsett, Gantt, Jones (Somerset Co.), Parker (Cal. Co.),
Smallwood, Smith (Cal. Co.), and Wight (White) Maryland families.

In addition, this second edition contains important new research findings on the British
origins of the Hatton-Domville and Brooke-Darnall families, as well as revealing the two
“lost” Ann Bradfords of PG Co.

Colonial Chesapeake Families details the pedigrees of 88 families; historical illustrations,
portraits, documents, and coats-of-arms (where proven) are included.
