Since many of the Valley families were closely connected by intermarriage, the joint presentation of their marriage data should be helpful to researchers interested in that region, and it also affords a more economical format for publishing the information. The data presented here include the marriage bonds, marriage licenses (including applications for marriage licenses), and marriage records (generally derived from minister's returns) as found in the courthouse for each of these jurisdictions. The source of each record is identified by letter codes. Entries are alphabetically arranged by grooms with a cross-index to brides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTherese A.

These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county and independent city, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as \"adjacent to John Smith\", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an \"outline\" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a \"text\" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of \"identifiers\" to determine if \"same name\" was also \"same person\" within a district or across districts, marginal quality\/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eobserve distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as \"Smith\", \"Anderson\", etc;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse the 1815 information as a \"bridge\" from the 18th and 19th century deed\/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants\/patents in the county;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubstitute this information for missing deed\/will books in the \"burned\" counties; and, clarify\/enhance vague deed\/will information in the counties with more complete records.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location\/place-name of land; miles\/direction from the 1815 courthouse. If multiple owners are listed for a property, the listing is duplicated under each of the owner's surnames (i.e \"Smith and Brown\" is also listed as \"Brown, --see Smith\"); when multiple owners share a common surname, the property is only listed once. When a landowner had land at more than one location\/place-name, the miles\/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.). In the few cases where a landowner had \"many\" parcels, the miles\/direction notation is attached to the location listing (i.e. Sandy RV- 5NE, Willow CK-7S, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoger G.
