Yvonne and Steve, Thanks for posting the subject reference and the following link to these tax lists: <A HREF="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ysbinns/vataxlists/index.htm">http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ysbinns/vataxlists/index.htm</A> I took a look at the Cross family members in Hanover Co and noted that several of them had tracks of land between 294 and 298 acres. Can anyone tell me the significance of this size of land track? Thanks for your help.
