Yes I have access to films at the local LDS Library, do you know the number of the film? I can check for it. I know he owned property before 1790, as he left VA by then. He and his brothers signed petitions to form Bedford and Franklin Co. into smaller units to help residents when they had to make trips to court or anything like that. My ancestor was JOHN ROBINSON/ROBERTSON/ROBERSON son of Thomas of Franklin Co. I believe he was a surveyor, and served in the Rev. War. But having signed the petitions, makes him eligible as a Patriot. I do not know his wife's name except it MAY have been Elizabeth. Not the ones that were married in Franklin Co. and remained there until they died. Mine went to NC. Margaret
Margaret, that's great!!The number is 2024588. Do you want to know how to look these microfilm numbers up right there at home? This will help anyone out who has access to a local LDS library, where they can order microfilms. Go to: Familysearch.org on your computer. Click on the "Library" tab at the top. Click on "Family History Library Catalog" at the top. Click on "Place Search". Enter into the search engine Place: Henry; Part Of: Virginia Click on the blue highlighted "Virginia, Henry" Scroll down to "Virginia, Henry--Taxation" and click on it. Click on "Personal Property Tax Lists, 1782-1851" At the top of the next screen, click on "View Film Notes" near the top right side. It will bring up film numbers, which in this case is 2024588. Got it? Hope it helps!!
