"A List of Taxables taken By Alexander McPherson [jr.?] in Charles Town"

[The above is the title of the handwritten list. The one-page record was 
Xeroxed from film #SR 4543-6 at the Maryland State Archives. There were only 11
records, each separated by a hand-drawn line; these are transcribed below with 
an added number showing the record sequence. Note that seven records have 
multiple names, written one after another; the name order has been added. The 
number of Taxables and the Notes appear after the men's names, referring to the
men collectively in that record. Characters and/or words that were unreadable or uncertain are shown within square brackets and with a question mark.]
