Bell, Sunlight on the Southside: Lists of Tithes, Lunenburg County, Virginia, 1748­1783 (Philadelphia, 1931), pp. 122­61, 269­85; Real and Personal Property Tax Lists, Lunenburg County, 1782, 1795, 1815, Virginia State Library, Rich­ mond, Va. *Denotes nonresidents of the county. "The 1750tithable lists, unlike those for subsequent years, do not include landhold­ ings, and thus the basis for calculating wealth in the county for that year is less secure than it is for subsequent years. The 1782 tax lists included all slaves rather than just tithable slaves sixteen years and over. Therefore the slaveholdings of the members of the elite for that year are distorted compared with other years. 232 Appendix 1 Name Lydall Bacon John Bannister* Joseph Billups Henry Blagrave Curtis Gates* Thomas Chambers Richard Claiborne John Cross Tscharner DeGraffenreid William Embry Lodowick Farmer David Garland Mary Glen Charles Hamlin Thomas Hardy Peter Jones Joseph Minor Jonathon Patteson Francis Smithson Thomas Tabb Name Roger Atkinson John Ballard John Barnes William Barrott Edward Brodnax Lewis Burrell Thomas Chambers James Craig John Cross Tscharner DeGraffenreid Francis DeGraffenreid William Dowsing Mary Garland Samuel Garland Peter Jones Frederick Nance James Scott Henry Stokes William Taylor Thomas Williams 1769 Landholdings in Acres 1,060 895 1,100 2,170 1,941 940 505 400 1,500 ,1200 1,325 3,190 1,408 1,176 1,530 3,525 1,105 1,069 1,246 1,600 1782 Landholdings in Acres 4,531 1,398 652 3,069 Unknown 3,091 1,614 1,604 400 435 1,043 511 500 2,730 1,076 783 1,172 900 404 Tithable Slaves 8 12 5 12 3 10 11 7 14 16 15 12 11 11 2 4 9 5 4 11 Slaves* 61 25 21 22 40 23 42 42 24 28 24 22 27 28 20 24 25 20 26 21 Appendix 1 233 1795 Name Roger Atkinson* Edward Brodnax Jeremy Burnett Lewis Burrell* Thomas Chambers William Chambers James Craig John Cross Francis DeGraffenreid Agnis Hamlin William Hatchett Peter Jones Edward Jordan John Mason James Scott James Shelton Henry Stokes Anthony Street William Taylor Thomas Williams Landholdings in Acres 1,660 350 1,355 2,481 1,710 403 2,584 1,057 1,112 710 1,794 4,573 1,154 108 1,084 1,040 2,045 673 1,611 1,408 Tithable Slaves 32 20 14 15 28 23 30 15 17 20 20 20 17 15 22 15 27 23 26 21 1815 Name William Buford Edward Chambers George Craghead George Craig Peter Epps William Eisher John Hamlin William Hatchett Peter Jones Thomas Jordan James Macfarland James Neal Sterling Neblitt John Ravinscroft Robert Scott James Smith William Stokes William Taylor David Williams Joseph Yarbrough Landholdings in Acres 3,186 1,098 760 2,098 2,692 1,119 599 2,435 2,172 1,943 1,442 2,180 991 2,236 1,660 1,843 2,063 1,449 1,201 608 Tithable Slaves 44 59 28 25 36 28 26 45 40 39 29 20 25 27 27 36 31 45 26 28 ...
