Land Tax Records for Amelia County
Reel 14  1782-1818

Reel 14 (above) may cover the years you need to research the tract by Land 
Tax.  1782 is the earliest year shown of Amelia Land Tax.  That 
one  reel  covers  through  1818.

With the above information, you should be able to order Reel 14 
interlibrary loan from LVA through your local county library.

Researching Land Tax records is fun.  Good luck.
