Ashby Est. 167 1/3 acres and in 1880 a John T. Ashby Est. with the same acreage. There are also discrepancies in number of acres in several areas as well.

Mr. Hamilton has compiled a wealth of valuable genealogical data presented in a convenient table format with entries listed alphabetically by surname within each section.
Land tax records, in a convenient table format, are listed alphabetically by surname within each section: 1826, 1828, 1830, 1832, 1835, 1838, 1840, 1842, 1843, 1845, 1848, and 1850. The totals sheet includes the tax rate and commissioner for each year.
This is primarily a compilation of articles pertaining to tax records--a term used rather freely to permit inclusion of such records as personal property tax lists, tithables, poll lists, land tax lists, and rent rolls. Like census records, tax records have the distinction of placing people in a particular location at a definite time and identifying them in relation to their households and property, thus providing irrefutable evidence of their existence and places of habitation. These records probably represent only a fraction of the early tax records of Virginia, but they do constitute a large proportion of the surviving records and refer to some 20,000 individuals in all. Their consolidation in this volume, with an extensive index, will certainly facilitate research in this field. The mass of "tax records" assembled for this volume relate to the following Virginia counties (or Episcopal parishes): Accomac, Amelia, Brunswick, Caroline, Charles City, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Elizabeth City, Essex, Frederick, Gloucester, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, King William, (King William Parish), King & Queen, Lancaster, Lunenburg, Middlesex, Nansemond, New Kent, Norfolk, Northampton, Orange, Pittsylvania, Prince George Princess Anne, Richmond, Spotsylvania, Surry, Warwick, Westmoreland, Williamsburg (city), York, (York-Hampton Parish).
This is the fourth in a series of personal property tax records. This volume covers the years 1852, 1855, 1858, and 1860-1862; as well as totals for all years and, as an addendum, lists for Free Negroes for 1853, 1854, 1856, and 1857. It is interesting to note the variation in tax rates during this period. The introduction includes a breakdown of the various templates during 1852 to 1862, which corresponds to the original documents. 2022, 81/2x11, paper, 464 pp.
The articles in this collection deal with early Virginia deeds, surveys, warrants, conveyances, patents, and grants, and virtually every article pertaining to the transfer and ownership of real property ever published in the leading Virginia periodicals is included. Most of the articles identify tenants, owners, and occupiers of specific parcels of land and thus place individuals and whole families in a particular place at a definite time.
