Tom, The 1788 final recap shows the following totals for Shenandoah County, VA following from columns left to right: Pages; listed 1 through 38 No. White Tithables; none listed in any or row & no column total Blacks over 16; has each page totals plus column total #241 Over 12 under 16; has each page totals plus column total #53 Horses; has each page totals plus column total #4095 Carriage wheels; has each page totals plus column total #2 Ordinary Licenses; each page totals plus column total #7 Billard Tables; each page totals plus column total #1 No. of Stud Horses; each page totals plus column total #20 Price Covering; shows amounts for each page; no column total-somthing unreadable Preachers (hard to read ?), Physians, Apothacarey & Surgeons; pg totals; col #2 On the 1788 Personal Property Tax List the first column gives the actual month, day, and year the person was enumerated. The second column list the person responsible for the tax. The second column lists the name of the white male titheables above 21 years old. The following columns are as listed above and in that order. The interesting thing here is that each year the columns change for listing of the names thereby giving you different information on the make up of the household as it pertains to the age of white males. This is NOT done in all years. There is one (don't have time right now to find it) where the second column names the white males between 16 and 21. Just found it------------1787. Anyhow, I got to get going on my chores. Chocy
