In a Lancaster Co [PA] history book is listed under taxable inhabitants for 1814-15: John Keim, butcher John is in the section labelled "inmates" I believe someone wrote previously that an "inmate" means he was a married or widowed man who did NOT own land. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Back in 1998, there were some emails sent to this list about this same John Keim. I forgot to state the item found was for the Borough of Columbia, just as the 1998 emails.
