Some of the last names are spelled very oddly, if my family was any example. You may want to utilize the other list which retains the original order by first name. Original columns included name, acreage, value of land, horses, cattle, hogs, total value (pounds, shilling, pence) housholders (only applies if person did not own land), shopkeepers, saw mills, grist mills, tuling mills, taverns, tanyards, ferries, vessels, single men & horse, single men, slaves, riding chairs, tax I only list the name, acreage, number of horses, cattle and hogs (separated by dashes), total value (separated by slashes) and anything that appears in the columns after that, except for tax due. On one page, the column for slaves was headed servants. Ackerman Abraham 225 acres, 4-8-2 41/12/6 Addis Simon 150 acres 2-5-0 26/5/0 Antwelt?
