Hi Sara, Here is the rest of the listings for any Thomas JAMES in the 1775-1785 tax lists of Virginia, reconstructed. ****************** 1785 Thomas JAMES in Pittsylvania County tax lists: 10 white souls and no dwelling but 4 other buildings. Again, no residential setting but a plantation of work at this particular location. This Thomas may or may not have owned the lands. ******************** 1785 Norfolk County tax lists: description: "District from Borough of Norfolk to Willis Care and to Princess Anne, including the southside of Tanner's Creek, lists of Matthew Godfrey". Thomas JAMES/ 4 white souls and 1 dwelling. This is residential with no outbuildings. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Christopher JAMES with 2 white souls and a dwelling with no outbuildings,. John JAMES with 10 white souls with 3 dwellings and 2 outbuildings. It might be that this John is the principal planter of the family which might include Christopher and Thomas. Worth investigating in the records of Norfolk and Princes Anne counties for land, etc. Because this list is alphabetical, it is not possible to distinguish the proximity of the neighbors using this list. ************************* 1784 Northumberland County tax lists: Thomas JAMES/ 10 white souls 1 Dwelling and two outbuildings. This appears to be a working plantation and has crop storage outbuildings or for other use. Neighbors: Because this list is alphabetical it is hard to tell about neighbors. However, there is another JAMES: William JAMES who is taxed with only 1 white soul and no dwelling and no outbuildings. ***************************** 1784 Gloucester County tax lists: Thomas JAMES is listed in Kingston Parish taxes in the lists of Thomas SMITH.. Thomas has 3 white souls and 1 dwelling but no out buildings. As this list is not in alphabetical order the neighbors can be listed: NEIGHBORS: Hilliagn and Isaac DAVIS, George FOSTER and James TRICE. Elias and William PUGH, Robert MATTHEWS, Going DUNBARR, Peter SMITH, and the John ARMISTEAD, dec'd estate. Another JAMES is also in the parish list of Thomas Smith but is listed somewhat distant from Thomas:: Walter JAMES has 10 white souls and 1 dwelling and 1 outbuilding. ******************************* 1783 Shenandoah County tax lists. these lists are only listed by Whites and Blacks. Mr. Alexander HITE lists seem to be broken into many groups of alphabetical listings which seem to indicate separate areas of the county. Unfortunately there are no "location" identities. If one has knowledge of family history it may be possible to use these lists for other surname links. There are family names here that relate to some Botetourt, Augusta, and Rockbridge county later JAMES research. Thomas JAMES. 4 Whites. This is the only JAMES in the tax lists for Shenandoah County in 1783. Others familiar to the research into the genealogy of Troy JAMES roots search for John JAMES of Botetourt County who married into the SMITH family: SMITH, PETERSON, BROWN, BEAR Names who seem to have an association: CIRCLE, WOOD, HARSHBARGER, KNISELY, MESSERSMITH. Perhaps there are some I have no knowledge of. ******************************* 1783 Essex County tax lists: This list is titled :District No. 2-list of Newman BROCENBOUGH. and is alphabetical.
