Indexes to the Welling Bibles is a surname index for a special collection held by the Howard County Historical Society library. The collection itself consists of photocopies of Howard County material (as well as some items relating to Carroll County and Anne Arundel County) contained in three Welling family Bibles that had been used as scrap books. These materials include clippings, obituaries, certificates, courthouse records, photographs, correspondence and genealogical charts of this prominent Howard county family. The dates of items extend from 1613 to 1981. The index volume allows the researcher to determine whether a name of interest is included, and where in the files at the HCHS to access it. There are well over 300 surnames, including Barrow, Bird, Brayshaw, Cauthorn, Dorsey, Forsyth(e), Gaither, Gist, Greenwood, Inglehart, Morris, Polk, Sykes, Warfield, Welling and Winchester. This book was originally published by HCGS in 1991 and was reprinted in 1997 as HCGS Special Publication 91-1.
Patriots and Pioneers of Howard County, Maryland: The Courthouse and The Jail is an account of the people involved in the construction and early days of the Howard County courthouse and the jail in Ellicott City in the time from 1840 to 1857. This book is the first publication from a manuscript written by HCGS member Joseph H. Nichols intended to document the common people who were responsible for the growth of the county during its formative years. The main source used by Mr. Nichols was the original 506-page ledger consisting of bound handwritten pages on which the activities of the early County Commissioners were recorded. The new book also contains a turn-of-the-century picture of the courthouse, pictures of the jail, and a portion of an 1860 map of Ellicott City showing various properties mentioned in the book. There is an index containing all the surnames in the book, including Alexander, Anderson, Batson, Bowie, Bradenbaugh, Bradford, Brown, Burgess, Thomas, Butler, Campbell, Carr, Carrick, Clark, Cole, Crawford, Davis, Day, Disney, Donaldson, Dorsey, Duvall, Ellicott, Elliott, Emmart, Fell, Fort, Gaither, Gibbons, Gosnell, Green, Griffith, Hammond, Harding, Harris, Haslup, Hayden, Hearn, Hipsley, Hobbs, Hollifield, Holland, Hopkins, Hughes, Hunt, Iglehart, Isaac, Isaacs, Jenkins, Johnson, Jones, Legon, Linthicum, Lycum, Lyons, MacCubbin, Maclin, McClary, McCrea, McKenzie, Israel, McLaughlin, Mills, Moore, Morris, Norwood, Orem, Owings, Patridge, Peepe, Piper, Powell, Pue, Radcliff, Rivers, Sallen, Scaggs, Shipley, Simmons, Smith, Snowden, Sprigg, Stewart, Talbott, Timanus, Tyson, Van Brocklyn, Warfield, Welsh, Wilson, Worthington.
