Hopefully someone on this site can help me here...My Nicholas Lute was living in Chester Co. in 1769 and then migrated to Westmoreland Co. Apparently on tax lists from 1769 to 1771 on 100 acres of and and various farm animals. Was given this info several years ago and have not been able to find this myself... Are there tax records that early and where might I find them...also anyone that might have any info about Nicholas prior to that time would be welcome... Thanking you in advance, Rochelle, Florida --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Get your photo on the big screen in Times Square
