 The 1759 Maryland land tax return reveals the proportions of land, county-by-county, owned by Catholics in contrast to land owned by Protestants. The highest percentages of Catholic landholdings were in [[Charles County, Maryland Genealogy|Charles]], [[Prince George's County, Maryland Genealogy|Prince George's]], and [[St. Mary's County, Maryland Genealogy|St. Mary's]] counties. The lowest percentages of Catholic landholdings were in [[Calvert County, Maryland Genealogy|Calvert]], [[Cecil County, Maryland Genealogy|Cecil]], [[Somerset County, Maryland Genealogy|Somerset]], [[Talbot County, Maryland Genealogy|Talbot]], and [[Worcester County, Maryland Genealogy|Worcester]] counties. Most land in those counties was owned by Protestants.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=-nLPAAAAMAAJ "An Account of the Number of Acres of Land in each County, in the Province of Maryland; distinguishing what Number of Acres are held by Protestants, and what Number of Acres are held by Papists, in each County, as it was returned by the Several Collectors of the Land Tax on Sept. 29, 1759,"] ''The Gentleman's Magazine,'' Vol. 35 (1765):15.</ref>
