Hugh, Robert and Solomon all own property (first set of numbers are the number of acres, the rate per acre, and the total value of real estate); all four own horses (second set of numbers--number of horses, value per horse, total value of horses); Hugh and Solomon own cows (third set of numbers--number of cows, value per cow, total value of cows); James and Robert are single men and are assessed at a rate of $100 for that status; Hugh and Solomon are farmers, which had no assessment rate attached to it; the next number is the total value of assessed property, both real estate and occupation assessment; the final number is the amount of taxes owed (same amount to both county and state). Hope this helps. -smb --On Saturday, March 13, 2004 3:58 PM -0800 Tom <tomchapman@adelphia.net> wrote: > Hello Listers: > > Is anybody here familiar with the Simpson family of Brushvalley - or the > properties around Suncliff circa 1840 or so? > > tom > > > ==== PAINDIAN Mailing List ==== > Having trouble unsubbing?
