About this series:

In 1782 the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new tax laws which created within each county an enumeration of land and certain personal property. These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.

The present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as "adjacent to John Smith", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an "outline" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a "text" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of "identifiers" to determine if "same name" was also "same person" within a district or across districts, marginal quality/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.

Some of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:

  • observe distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as "Smith", "Anderson", etc;
  • identify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);
  • determine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);
  • use the 1815 information as a "bridge" from the 18th and 19th century deed/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants/patents in the county;
  • evaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;
  • substitute this information for missing deed/will books in the "burned" counties; and, clarify/enhance vague deed/will information in the counties with more complete records. 

FORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location/place-name of land; miles/direction from the 1815 courthouse. If multiple owners are listed for a property, the listing is duplicated under each of the owner's surnames (i.e "Smith and Brown" is also listed as "Brown, --see Smith"); when multiple owners share a common surname, the property is only listed once. When a landowner had land at more than one location/place-name, the miles/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.). In the few cases where a landowner had "many" parcels, the miles/direction notation is attached to the location listing (i.e. Sandy RV- 5NE, Willow CK-7S, etc.)

I’m happy with it
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed, Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
Works great. Edit: After a week that I wrote works great, it had the issue that when it starts cleaning it looses power and shuts off after it leave the dock. When it disengages from charging it’s dead basically so unfortunately I returned it. But I will buy it again I was happy with it.

Charging base makes awful high pitch noise.
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
It cleans fine but the charging base emits a terrible high pitch noise. I have to unplug it when nearby. Cats no longer want to sleep in the same room as the vacuum base. Update: A little over a year later and it appears the vacuum's onboard wifi module has passed the rainbow bridge to electric heaven. Can no longer connect the L50 to the app or local wifi. Tried resetting, reverting to older version of app, changing my wifi to 2ghz only. Trying setup in airplane mode. Nothing works.

It worked!
Set name: 10 Jumbo, Set name: 10 Jumbo
I bought this to fit a full size 4" memory foam mattress topper. I gotta say it took 3 of us. 1 to lay on the memory foam and 2 of us to get it shoved in and keep pulling the bag up. But it actually fit! My arm was dying using the hand pump so we used a vacuum. It worked better than the hand pump. Due to what I was storing it did not shrink very flat, but compared to the size of the memory foam it shrunk a lot and will definitely save space! The bags arrived today so I dont know how well it holds up long term but the bag was very sturdy yanking it up around the foam. Didn't tear or stretch. And it actually fit!

Air comes out and STAYS out!
Set name: 10 Medium
I’ve tried so many different versions of these vacuum storage bags over the years, and this company seems to have finally figured it out. They’re absolutely not exaggerating about the 80% space savings. What really impressed me is the pump design — it actually screws onto the bag, so it stays securely attached while removing the air instead of constantly slipping off. It also has a stop valve built in, which prevents air from escaping when you remove the pump to put the cap back on. Such a smart design improvement over other brands I’ve used. I bought the medium 10-pack to store my winter clothes in two 66-quart storage bins, and they fit surprisingly well. That said, part of me wishes I had also picked up a few of the smaller sizes just because they’d probably make stacking and organizing even easier. Overall though, I’m really impressed with the quality and design.

Great bags!
Set name: 10 Jumbo
These space bags are awesome! The company gives you a hand pump but your vacuum works great. They also give you tabs to slide over the ziplock part which works great. I bought the jumbo bags and I can’t believe what I was able to fit in them. More than one summer king size comforter in a bag, and 1 oversized extra large and thick king size winter comforter with shams and sheets in one bag. Other bags had several queen size quilts or comforters and decorative pillows. I highly recommend these bags. The price is great too.
