It is not a census, but a tax list (in fact, several of them). The easiest way is to google "early Somerset tax lists", but they are concealed somewhere at the Maryland State Archives website. At least, I cannot ever find them, even though I know perfectly well they are there. Elizabeth In a message dated 6/16/2010 3:42:33 P.M.

The 1723-1759 Somerset household tax lists is what you're looking for. These are rare survivors; almost none of these lists still exist for other MD counties. See the intro and explanation at: http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/coagser/c1800/c1812/html/c1812_intro.html The annual lists by Hundred are at: http://guide.mdsa.net/series.cfm?action=viewSeries&ID=C1812 John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] It is not a census, but a tax list (in fact, several of them).
