About this series:

In 1782 the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new tax laws which created within each county an enumeration of land and certain personal property. 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.

The present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county, 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.

Some of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:

  • observe distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as "Smith", "Anderson", etc;
  • identify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);
  • determine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);
  • use 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;
  • evaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;
  • substitute 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. 

FORMAT 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.)

Perfect little set! Get both
Size: Small, Color: Porpoise
Such a soft sweater! You have to get the matching set! The quality is amazing and the material is nice and thick for those chilly days! The set feels like a more expensive brand so you get a good deal! I washed it and it did not shrink and the color did not fade. I hung to dry and the fabric still looks perfect!

Impressive style and quality!
Size: Large, Color: Chocolate
I was impressed by this ribbed crewneck sweater's quality and style. It's soft, comfortable and flowy without being shapeless. I love the back slit which ads a little chic. I chose the chocolate color which is a rich, dark cocoa. The sweater is true to size. The sleeves are slightly bell shaped which ads elegance. I highly recommend pairing this sweater with the matching cropped pants. Together it creates a lounging set that's casual yet elegant and ideal for travel. Highly recommend both.

Cute and Cozy
Size: Medium, Color: Chocolate
Normally I am hesitant to buy clothes off Amazon but I kept getting ads for this. I took the chance and bought this + the pants. I live in Michigan where winters get bitter cold. These are actually very cute and cozy. I wear one layer of thermals over it and my puffer coat but even without it, it's still warm. The size is fine I would say you are ok sticking with your regular size or sizing down. It is thick and stretchy too. I got lots of compliments on the outfit.

Shades of Sweater & Pants are Off
Size: X-Large, Color: Zephyr Pink
The color of the sweater and pants are not the same shade. Also, they are far from “cozy” and not as snuggly as I had hoped for. However the quality of the construction and material appear good.

Very cute! High quality denim.
I'm just gonna be honest with you ladies. These look and fit best on someone with a flat stomach, or more defined waist. Otherwise it is going to be hard to find a balance of how they slouch on the waist and the right amount of baggy. I'm 5'2, 150lbs, and the 27 fits me perfect and falls about 1 1/2 inch below my belly button. The length was perfect either straight with my Converse, or cuffed with my sandals.
