I have abstracted some of the Loudoun Land Tax Lists. It does appear that
commissioners often copied the list of the previous year and then had a
section of 'alterations.' In Loudoun these alterations would list the
previous and new owner/tax payer of the land.

Perhaps the commissioner did not bother to write up a new tax list every
year but rather copied the previous year's list, making whatever minor
changes were necessary.
