Excerpt from American Bibliography, Vol. 2: A Chronological Dictionary of All Book Pamphlets and Periodical
From the year 1730 to 1737 - 1738 William Parks, under an arrangement with the governments of Maryland and Virginia, by which he was to receive from each two hundred pounds a year, secured to him by Act of Assembly by fifty thousand pounds weight of tobacco, maintained printing offices at both Annapolis and Williamsburg. To the latter place he removed permanently about the year 1738. He was succeeded at Annapolis, in 1739, by Jonas Green, as printer to the Province of Maryland. In 1745 Green began the publication of the Maryland Gazette, second paper of that name printed in the Province, which was continued with marked typographical features and ability into the next century. At Annapolis, in 1730, William Parks printed Ebenezer Cook's Sotweed redioivus, and in the following year, in The Maryland muse, his Sot-weed factor, first printed in London in 1708, both written in heavy burlesque verse.
