    1. Re: [VASHENAN] Tax List question - 1799 Personal Property
    2. The question regarding the 1799 PPT for Shenandoah Co VA is answered on another page of the microfilm images of this list. [My images are from Shenandoah County Reel 315: 1782-1799 Shenandoah Co Personal Property Tax] (2nd) [nd is superscript ] On no image of this list is the 2nd identified. No of Captains 1 Isaac Goare 2 William Bird 3 John Hup 4 George Rinker 5 Christian Hoffman 6 George Fravel 7 Frederick Parrot 8 Abraham Snapp 9 Philip Spengler 10 John Colvill This is the only page that identifies this list as List No. 2. On no page is it identified as List B. This list is identified on various pages as Young's Certificate Jos Young Young's District Then close to the last image: Shenandoah County Tax I Phillip Williams Clerk of the said County Court so hereby certify that the fore- going List is a true copy from the vouchers returned into my office by Joseph Young one of the Commissioners of the Commissioners of the taxes for the said County given under my hand this 10th day of May 1800. Test P Williams Errors Excepted Joseph Young C. T. S. Cty. At this time were not all males 16 and older, unless exempted, assigned to a militia unit? The heading of the column between the day of the month and the name of taxable is clearly on most pages Capt [sometimes the line to cross the t started to the left of the p. Page 14 indeed has "studs" in this same column. I'd say not to worry. We all make mistakes and this, surely, is the copyist's mind wandering! The other list for the same year has a written A on the typed title page "Property Book for the Year 1799". The next page starts the list and has above the chart headings A List of Tithables & Taxable property within the District of the 97th Regiment Shenandoah County Taken by William Jennings one of the Commissioners for the Said County 1788. On no image of This list of Jennings is List "A" seen. Added note: Citation recommendation - Use both the Commissioner's name as well as the alpha/number on a list.
