The record book, arranged chronologically, contains the minutes of the Baltimore Town Commissioners from December 1st 1729 to September 26th 1747. The minutes describe meetings, surveys, along with the sale and transfer of lots. This volume also contains the minutes of the Jones Town Commissioners for the period October 28th 1732 to November 9th 1741. Jones Town was established in 1732 and absorbed into Baltimore in 1745. The information contained in the Jones Town minutes are similar to that of the Baltimore Town Commissioners record book. This volume was transcribed and published by Wilbur Coyle as the First Records of Baltimore Town and Jones Town 1729-1797 (Baltimore: Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 1905). To preserve the original book, researchers are asked to consult the published volume.
