I'm wondering if there are any sets of curves or tables that can estimate the equivalent value of estates and property from previous years. For instance what is the present day value of a $1500 estate of 1820 in Petersburg, VA. I could see where you could use average hourly wage, or possibly cost per acreage, or stock market average (once it started). Trouble is everything seems very conditional and possibly subjective. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Perry To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
