Barnes, Robert. Marriages & Deaths from the Maryland Gazette, 1727-1839, Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1973 - available on Ancestry

The Maryland Gazette was first published in Annapolis in 1727 by William Parks. Parks had previously established two newspapers in England: the Ludlow Post-Man in 1719 and the Reading Mercury in 1723. He came to Annapolis in March 1725/6 and shortly thereafter established the Maryland Gazette, which was the first paper to be published south of Pennsylvania. Publication of the Gazette was carried on intermittently until 1734.

Parks held the post of Public Printer in the Province of Maryland from 1727 until 1737. In 1730 he established a press in Williamsburg, Virginia and in 1736 became the editor of the Virginia Gazette. He was also Public Printer of Virginia until 1750, the year of his death.

The Maryland Gazette was re-established in 1745 by Jonas Green, a native of Connecticut and the son of Deacon Timothy Green. . . . 

The Gazette usually consisted of a folded sheet of four pages, with nearly half the space devoted to advertising. News from Europe and from other colonies took up the bulk of the remaining space, with part of one column given over to Annapolis news. Deaths and marriages were sometimes found in this column, but later, when they became a popular feature, they were listed separately under the headings "Marriages' and "Deaths," or as they were waggishly referred to in the early nineteenth century, "The Knot" and "The Knell."  The early issues of the paper carried comparatively few marriage and death notices other than those concerning  prominent citizens.  The inclusion of notices of notices of ordinary citizens was a gradual process.

Fitch, John. Photographing Gravestones, Nexus, Vol. XVI, No. 1.

Consider the matter of the sun being on the wrong side of the subject about half the time. Most tombstones face the west. Take pictures in the afternoon. Noon is standard time, in summer the sun will reach it's zenith at 1:00. Have a picnic and wait for the sun.

Take a tripod and a mirror. The first to steady the camera and the second to use to reflect sunlight onto the tombstone when the sun is not in the right place. The mirror should be about 2' x 4' to work well with all sizes of stones.

Gleason, Michael.  Switch to Gregorian Calendar was Unpopular with Colonists, The Virginia Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. XVII, No. 3, May/June 1991.

The last thing Virginians needed in 1752, amid rumors of French & Indian raids along the Ohio River frontier, was a new calendar system that included a new New Year's Day. Still, that's what they got from the British Parliament. 

Great Britain that year adopted the Gregorian calendar, eliminating 11 days and switching New Year's Day from March to January.
