Margery, you won't find any more information in the tax lists than that which is already on line unless you are looking for descriptions of the land they owned and quite often even that isn't there. Land descriptions are not included in delinquent or personal taxes. Family members names are NEVER listed. Only the man who paid the taxes. What is in the tax lists are names and that they paid their taxes. This helps to prove they were in the county that year, but little more. You won't find any family names or death dates or anything like that in tax records.
