I was a bit too hasty. There is one for Lancaster County dated 1727. Here's the link to the finding aid.

Let me add that the Accomack County tobacco census records (as well as tithable lists and other colonial era Accomack records) were found in the loose court records of Accomack County stored in the attic of the courthouse.

Our staff did an amazing job examining, identifying, and repairing these "lost" treasures so that they could be used for historical and genealogical research.

We have yet to come across similar tobacco census lists from other localities in collections found at LVA.

The blog entry states:
"Accomack County (Va.) Census of Tobacco Plants, 1725, 1728-1729, consists of three lists of tobacco plants created to comply with the Tobacco Acts."
Are there extant tobacco plant census lists for other counties in Virginia??
Or, are these surviving lists for Accomack unique?
