Shirley, I believe if you do a Google.com search engine search for Appleton's it should bring up the bookstore where you need to order the book. The bad news is I missed placed my book two days ago along with my garage opener. The good news is I found my garage opener in the bottom of the laundry basket, so the book should show up soon-----------guess I have been trying to do too many things at once! Anyhow, the book is a series for the different areas of Virginia. If you look for "1815 Virginia Landowners" it should bring you to a selection list. At that point, you want the Northern Neck area which will have a Volume number with a list of all the counties it covers. I believe I paid somewhere around $35 to $40 for my book and it is very valuable in locating the approximate area where the property is located. Taking the information from the different personal property and land tax lists you can figure out a lot. I have since copied the original Frederick County, VA 1815 land tax records and I can say for the most part that the book is pretty correct; however, a warning to ALL----------------there is nothing like looking at the film yourself! I found a few errors concerning the direction from the courthouse the property was located; instead of the SE the book said SW and that really threw me until I went into the original record and found the book had made the error--------------I know, for sure, NOW, that the property was in fact SE as was stated in the original record. Also, when reading the original record sometimes they are hard to read and you may be able to interrupt the writing better based on information you already know concerning the subject. Also, I lost one of my relatives and could not find him in one of my index books. When I was checking out the different tax years I found him listed as a White Male over 21 years of age whose tax was being paid by the first person listed--------"Person responsible for the Tithable" along with several other men. Each year is different, so you just don't know what you might find------------if you can, order the original and take a look for yourself. You may be very surprised at what you may find! Anyhow Shirley, if you can't locate the book let me know and when I find my copy I will post all the needed information. Good Luck, Chocy
