The Surry County Historical Society has copies in their office. I think copies are available for sale from The Virginia Genealogical Society. This list from Surry County is the most complete of any Va. County. They were written in our court orders. As a teaser, I have xeroxed all of the existing tythable lists [prox 35] from the 1700s. I also have work books for one half of Surry county for two later 1700s years, which includes signature of many heads of households. Would you believe that prox. 70% signed their own name? They have not been transcribed or published, however. Nothing would make me happier than to have a responsible party transcribe these records and make them available. It is going to be a BIG job.

The lists of tithables for the years after 1660 or thereabouts and continuing through the remainder of the 17th-Century appeared in installments in the years 1985-1988 in the "Magazine of VA Genealogy." Those are most worthwhile for ANYONE researching early Surry. I understand that those lists have been published as a book, however I do not know of that fact for sure. How about it, Surry folks, are those published now?
