The following information was extracted from the reference cited below.  
The manner of determining the amount of the levy is unknown but appears 
to be based in part on the amount of land or property owned by the 
individual.  Therefore, the relative size of the levy should give some 
indication of the wealth of the individual.  The number appearing after 
each name is the levy assessed in pounds of tobacco.
