S. government that had a description of the owner's dwelling, number of slaves, number of acres, other buildings on the property owner, and an adjacent land owner. It has nicknames as the "window tax" or "glass tax" because part of the tax was based on the number of glass windows. > > Rick Saunders > http://genealogypro.com/fsaunders.html > > > ==== BALTGEN Mailing List ==== > Check Out the USGenWeb/MDGenWeb page for Baltimore Co. > http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdbaltim > >
