"Volume 122...contains only a slave list which is on the inside of the back cover."
The 1798 Tax lists the following information: Name of occupant, name of owner, dimensions or area of building, materials of which the building is built, number of stories, number of windows, number of lights, and outhouses.
Miscellaneous Twps., ca. 1815-1819, 1 vol. These records are grouped into 15 different sections, each section with a list of names from A-Z. But the sections cross township boundaries, listing names in multiple, contiguous townships. The entries list valuation and assessment data. The volume doesn't appear to have been produced by a township level official. More likely it was generated by a county-level official.
