I have run against a brick wall looking for members of the HURDLE family in Frederick County during that time because the Federal census records from Virginia were burned in the War of 1812. I sincerely hope someone can point me in the right direction. > >Thanks in advance. > Hello I was able to get the personal property tax rolls for Frederick Co and surrounding Counties on microfilm via interlibrary loan from the Library of Virginia. I did this when I still lived in Charolottesville Va., the films were sent to the graduate library at UVA and I was able to read the film in the library's microfilm room. I am attaching an example of what you can expect from the lists. Good Luck John Frederick County (formed 1738) Begin 1782 Col.
