> Can anyone direct me to the relevant statutes authorizing/requiring the two lists above? The 1783 list includes head of household, number of white inhabitants, and number of black inhabitants. The 1785 list is for whites only, and includes head of household, number of whites, number of dwelling houses, and number of "other houses" (buildings). I have the lists for Lancaster County. The 1785 list is headed with notation "per Act of Assembly." I'm curious as to why these lists were made, and what exactly was considered a dwelling house and "other houses." Some people on the list have no dwelling house, nor any other buildings.
