I very much appreciate the recent posting by Harold Colson of the reference to the Tax Lists in his web site, perqtax.homestead.com In the 1772 Tax List, on the C-D page, could anyone help with 2 lines. The third line: Chappel John son James out[?] on [what?] The sixth line: Chappel [who?] Would I be right in assuming that, for a named son to be shown with his father, the son must have been over 15 and still living in his parents' household? In the 1787 list, on Page 10, what is the top entry in the third (Where Situated) column? Could this be an abbreviation for Pasquotank? Also, what are the column headings on the sixth and seventh columns. Of particular interest to me was the fact that two of the Chappell households included slaves, so not all members of this family can have been Quakers in good standing - which is probably why I have been unable to find any record for the birth of Caleb Chappell towards the end of the eighteenth century.
