Onslow County, NC - 1781 Onslow County Tax Lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1781 Onslow County Tax Lists as found on Microfilm C.072.70001, Onslow County Tax List 1774-1790. Based upon the tax summary found on film, at least one list appears to be missing. It may be elsewhere on the film, I have not yet found it. With that exception, the names are listed in the sequence as found on the tax list. Where information was illegible or questionable, I have inserted a question mark.
