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.

Much of this was requisitioned from the civilian population and certificates were issued payable in either continental or state funds, depending on the units supplied, upon presentation to court authorities. Thousands of these certificates issued to Virginians were duly entered by the courts, and they provide a fascinating insight into the period of the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese \"Publick\" Claims booklets contain interesting and useful information about the contributions of ordinary people to the Revolutionary War. They provide some details of people's service in the militia or as guards for prisoners of war; they indicate where some bodies of troops were at particular times; and they identify providers of horses, wagons, cattle, grain, or other supplies. Much of the information in these booklets cannot be found anywhere else, which makes the surviving records particularly valuable. Also remarkable is the fact that records survived from virtually every county in the state at that time with the exception of the newly formed Kentucky counties. This makes the collection even more valuable in covering areas which heretofore in this time period have suffered from a lack of personal data. The \"Virginia Publick Claims\" are published by counties.

It has some of the standard genealogical works, written in the standard genealogical style complete with footnotes and sources. The first two chapters convey the character of the reference material, wedged between historical stories and anecdotes — some humorous, some not so much. Statistical analysis to the reference material presents an aspect to genealogy that most people probably never considered and it can be a bit revealing, and not nearly as boring as it sounds on the surface. The remarkable, true story of a 103-year-old man, who finds himself in a paternity suit, includes glimpses into the Depression, prison life in the forties, and farm life of the 1960’s. A chapter in which the conclusions of a genealogy icon are respectfully challenged reminds readers of how often the research of one family can find its way into the research of another. “Family Shorts” offers an often light-hearted collection of tales and anecdotes; some family history and some entertaining curiosities, mostly involving mules of all things. “Finding the Parents of Susan Edwards” presents a case study in the search for ancestors, which goes through the steps required to build a case for clear and convincing evidence and the establishment of probable parents. A story of inspiration and moonshine contains some genealogical and historical elements but is primarily about a man, his still, and his inspiration. The chapter “Rendezvous with History” examines history prior to 1865 and the roles some of the subject people played in it or as noted in the sub-title “where micro-history collides with macro-history.” “The Sermon” makes the case that we all should try to record some aspects of our family history for those who will come after us. There are a few more anecdotes in the “Final Thoughts”, which ends the work.
