Author: waroper Surnames: Roper Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1939.12/mb.ashx Message Board Post: As shown within the Images of the Tax Lists posted at the Binn Genealogy site, there are NO ROPERs shown within the 1798 Personal Property Tax Lists for St. Andrews Parish, Brusnwick County, Virginia. William and David ROPER seem to have departed Brunswick between 1788, when each is shown on the Tax Lists, and 1798, when neither is shown. See: http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/Brunswick/1798Personal/33.jpg http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/Brunswick/1798Personal/34.jpg http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/Brunswick/1798Personal/35.jpg There are Extant Tax Lists for each year between 1788 and 1798 which need to be inspected to see which year David ROPER and William ROPER departed. These Lists may also implicitly identify the AGE of various of David and William ROPER's sons as these young men came of age.
