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?
