To interested Woolsey researchers: WASHINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1782 Personal Property Tax List Col. Arthur Campbell's Precinct [This section of this tax list is faded, and very difficult to read.] I, Wilford W. Whitaker have been studying the 1782 Tax List of Washington County, Virginia, and have wondered for sometime why the Woolseys do not appear on this list. As I studied the Land and Survey Records and learned who were neighbors of the Woolseys, I have come to the conclusion that they are on this Tax List, but wrongly identified. They should have appeared as living close to Jonathan Dean but they do not. However, there are the following, which should become apparent, in just a little while. NAME TITHES HORSES CATTLE SLAVES & NAMES Patterson, John 1 4 6 Finley, George 1 3 7 Evans, Thomas 1 2 3 Cannon, Thomas 1 2 4 Evans, John 1 2 6 Watkins, David 1 2 5 Young, James 1 0 2 Jones, Joshua 1 3 2 Williams, Jenkin 1 5 7 Dean, Jonathan - - - Lewis, William, Senr. 2 3 6 Lewis, John 1 3 - Lewis, William 1 3 12 Lewis, Griffith 1 4 5 WOLING, RICHARD - - - WOLING, THOMAS - - - Johnston, Henry ?? - - - McFarlane, John 1 4 6 Williams, Daniel 1 - - Hopkins, Jeremiah - - - After an exhaustive search, WOLING is not a name that is found in Washington County, Virginia. At this time, I believe that the above Richard & Thomas WOLING is a misreading of Richard [md Nancy Plumbstead.]& Thomas WOOLSEY, the father. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
