Unlike the typical tithe/tax lists in the mid-late-1700s, the Head of 
Household lists in VA in the 1780s had a column for "Number of White 
Souls."  Was this restricted to males only, or were females included?  
Was this restricted to age 16 and above, or were all ages included?  I 
am not convinced that the "rules were the same" on these Head of 
Household lists as for the early tithe/tax lists that only showed males 
age 16 and over for the "white inhabitants."  Thanks!
