It is interesting to find the 1790-1800 Virginia Tax Schedules on line at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ysbinns/vataxlists/ upon looking at the indexs and then viewing the actual scanned images I find that the index says John Smather, James Smather, Nathaniel Smather and Thomas Smather, but if the names are not Smother I'll eat you hat.
