Just a Footnote on tithables, when there is more than one male over 16. The Virginia tax lists for the 1780s, 1790, 1800, generally list the names of all the tithables. Usually they are sons, sometimes field hands, servants, etc., especially indentured servants. I can estimate the year of birth of my gggg grandfather Lipscomb WASH, by when he appears on the Powhatan Co list in the household of Lewis Johnson, to whom he was bound out to learn the mill wright trade.
