Any comments not clearly marked as being those of the transcriber are either those of the author or of a work cited by the author. The names in the tithe lists have been rendered precisely as found in the published text. It must be stressed that any suggestions as to alternative spellings or questioning that occur within the tithe lists are those of the author. The full text is presented in this transcription with the exception of the index. Each year is contained in its own file. Footnotes are rendered in brackets; page numbers are rendered in braces. Any parenthetical text has been rendered using the brackets or parentheses that appear in the published text. Between pp. 58 and 59 of the published text there appears a fold-out map of Lunenburg County as it existed in 1748, overlaid with the tithe subdivisions and the counties that were created from the original territory of Lunenburg county. A textual representation of the map, together with explanatory text, appears in Part 2 at the end of page 58, but prior to the start of the list of tithes. No copyright notice was printed in the published text. {page 161, continued} At May Court, 1751, Field Jefferson[1] was appointed a list taker in the place of William Howard, who had died, and with that substitution the Court appointed "the same gentlemen as were appointed last year [to] take the lists in their several precincts." The lists discovered for this year, 1751, are those taken by: Lyddall Bacon, Field Jefferson, Hugh Lawson, Richd. Witton It is certain that several lists for this year have not been found.
