JB, I found a copy of the 1787 Census of Virginia for Shenandoah County. There is one for every county. They are a transcription of the 1787 Tax List. I have one on Shenandoah and another one on Culpeper. They are available from Willow Bend Books which is on-line at www.WillowBendBooks.com Have fun, Nancy At 01-03-03 08:01, you wrote: >Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florene Speakman Love have published "The Personal >Property Tax Lists for the Year 1787 for Shenandoah County, Virginia."
