Here is one I'm not sure I understand. In the 1790 and 1800 tax lists for
Charlotte Co there are 2 William Fosters. One is tagged as "good" and the
other as "wag"[goner]. Has anyone seen "good" used before and does it mean
anything other than what it seems? I've seen modifiers related to
occupation and parish or waterway where a man lived, or "son of" which is
always helpful, but not "good". Thanks for the help. (And thanks to Bunny
and Steve for putting the tax lists on line. It's a great resource).
