in the 1780 tax rateables of Monmouh county, my ancestor William KIRBY [that is, I'm assuming & hoping he's one & the same] is listed as owning 90 acres. his father Thomas owns 200. in 1797 William purchases some acreage from his father, yet so far I've found no reference for any transactions prior to that date. [searching mostly in Monmouth Archives via email & other long-distance research methods not inclusive of LDS]. are there other tax or agricultural schedules I can consult? I've had a tough time adding up all the parcels of property they each bought and sold over the years... some sort of tax list will help me get a perspective, I think. also, would anyone on the list have a 'complete' index [or entire listing] of the 1780 ratables? now that I know more 'surrounding' and allied names, I'm curious how some neighbors or family might be listed. I have a copy of one page, which lists William, Thomas & Job KIRBY at the bottom of the page. would be happy to reimburse copying & postage if anyone could enlighten me [better yet, is it digitized yet?] and send me a copy... can't be all *that* big <G>. thanks for any help! kirby in NC kirbz@netmcr.com
