I have this list of most of my known family ancestors...I am not real sure on the John and Jacob. Surnames are spelled as written on the tax list..Can anyone lay claim to the John and Jacob for sure [problem is I can not]? I am rather curious abt this acre of land Statler got under the name of Henderson and Company, around the Ohio river...on the tax list it has a mark of 10 under value of townlot..not sure what that means...maybe it was a store or some tavern..????
