Carr, Lois Green, and Lorena S. Walsh. "The Standard of Living in the Colonial Chesapeake." William and Mary Quarterly 45 (January 1988): 135-59.
Notes: Carr and Walsh make detailed use of probate records from seventeenth and eighteenth century Maryland to argue that the period in Chesapeake area history represented a shift from an early emphasis upon material necessities to an improved standard of living marked by "gentility." The authors contend that this change reached across class lines and helped to fuel, rather than check, the productive economy of the colony. The article includes extensive tables and graphs of evidence regarding consumer items for several Maryland and Virginia counties.

Levering, Patricia W., and Ralph B. Levering. "Women in Relief: The Carroll County Children's Aid Society in the Great Depression." Maryland Historical Magazine 72 (Winter 1977): 534-46.
Notes: Examines how a rural county in Mid-Maryland dealt with the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Before the New Deal and state programs were implemented, responsibility for aid fell to private organizations. The Children's Aid Society, ran by women, helped Carroll Countians survive the Great Depresssion. The authors hypothesize that rural areas with self-help operations endured the depression better and longer that urban areas.
