Steve and Bunny - It will probably be necessary to compare the single
list with adjacent years to tell if anything is missing.  The revenue
agents were going through a transition period in the 1780s.  It took
awhile to tell how many agents they needed.  In 1782 Prince William
County had five agents assigned (five different districts).  Later, when
they settled on two districts, the Occoquan River and Cedar Run were
used as the dividing line.  Still later there are individual years that
have only one combined list, but they appear to be complete.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Charles City Tax Lists

I have a tax list question that was asked to me by a friend. I cannot
answer it but I hope that someone here has more knowledge than myself
(perhaps a LVA staff member?).

Many of the counties have 2 tax lists for the years 1787 and after.
However several counties only have 1 tax list for these years. Charles
City is a county that only has 1 tax list for each year. Is there
someplace that defines how many tax lists there are for each year?
Here's the question as asked to me:

"Could it be that the land tax listings are from only one district of
Charles City Co, Va. It appears that there may be one (or two) other
district or section of CCC that is not included. Do you have any
thoughts on this?"

Thanks for any help you can offer.
