The exact reference to this interesting article is: Jackson T. Main, "The One Hundred," William and Mary Quarterly, 3rd series, v. 11 no. 3 (July 1954), 354-384. Thanks to Peter for showing where this had been published originally. The list of names only was reprinted a few years ago in a history of the James River without citation. Eric G.

It was by Jackson Turner Main and it appeared in the William and Mary Quarterly around 1950-1952. I'm sorry I don't have the exact citation here at work. It is based on the land tax and personal property tax list of 1786 and 1787 -- the first years that offer almost complete coverage of all the counties in the Commonwealth. It is an excellent article and a fine example of quantitative history that is made accessible to the lay reader. Enjoy Peter V.

The author--I think--was either Turner ______ or _______ Turner. Can anyone tell me the author's full name and in which journal it appeared? And maybe, the approximate year it was published? I would be very grateful.
