This record is an attempt to substitute the missing census for Virginia Counties with tax records. The tax records were created between 1782 through 1787 and cover Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky as they were all included in the boundares of Virginia at the time. Entries give the name of the tax payer, poll, slaves and county. This record is arranged in alphabetical order.
