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 369, continued} At May Court, 1776, Joseph Williams, Elisha Betts, John Ragsdale, Charles Hamlin, Jonathan Patteson, and Christopher Billups were appointed to take the lists of tithes. Lists taken by Elisha Betts, John Ragsdale, Jonathan Patteson and Christopher Billups are found; but none by Joseph Williams and Charles Hamlin, for this year, have been discovered. However, there are lists for this year taken by Colo. David Garland and Colo. Thomas Tabb, although they do not apear among those appointed by the order of May Court, 1776. The general list for the County, for 1776, made up of the several individual lists, and certain others added by the {page 370} Court, has been found, and it alone is presented herein.
