There are two tobacco tenders lists for Stafford County, 1724, at the Huntington Library in California, with copies at the Library of Virginia.   One of them includes what is now southern Prince William County.   They have been published by G. H. S. King (Overwharton Parish records) and by John Vogt and William Kethley (Stafford County tithables), but without the names of slaves which are found on the originals.  We have indexed all names there as part of our "Prince William County People, 1701-1800" project  http://eservice.pwcgov.org/library/digitalLibrary/index.htm   We will be posting a full transcript of the lists shortly.

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?
