Does anyone know if there are any tax records available of the type that might have been paid by tradesmen or craftsmen owning shops? I¹m still working on Thomas Hudson who married Sarah Walker who lived in Boonsboro from 1810 to 1859 (when he died). My main interest is Sarah and I have found a great deal since I last posted. I have her will and know that she had a brother James who moved to Clark Co., OH. I know also that Thomas Hudson was from Caernarvon, Lancaster, PA. What II would like to know now is what was Thomas¹s profession in the years 1800 to 1840. My guess is that he was a saddler, but I need to prove it. By 1850 census he was 80 and not working so census doesn¹t help. I¹ve searched newspapers for ads with no result. If anyone has any ideas I¹d appreciate hearing them. Thanks, Joan

Listers, I too am interested in knowing about extant tax records from Washington County and hope answers to Joan's question will be posted on the list. Joan, a few of my Clark/e ancestors also moved to Clark County Ohio, specifically Springfield. I have often wondered about the push/pull of these two counties. Do you know why James relocated?

Hi Joan: I would think there were be quite a few records of him both tax wise andpublic wise. The reason I say this is because one of mine was a saddler, but just over the border into Pennsylvania. Here there is lots of tax info on him, plus he advertised. Mine was quite well off and had a huge house and seven children and the house is still standing and occupied. If you can't find any info on him I would also try the Martland Hall of Records (Archives) who you can google and they have lots of info on indivusals.
