There is a 1783 personal tax list from King and Queen County, Virginia: A list of taxable property and number of souls in the Sixth Hundred taken in April 1783 by Philip Taliaferro. This list differs from others in that the captions “White Souls” and “Black Souls” include the entire personnel of the household. The number of each that are taxable are shown under the heading” White Tithes” and “Black Tithes.” In the list, the name of slaves follow that of the family. I copied some of the names contained in this listing of Sixth Hundred persons. They include the following families:

Bray, Bland, Bowden, Crittenden, Cary, Collins, Collier, Clarke, Collins, Corr, Currie, Cooke, Dudley, Drummond, Dudley, Douglas, Dame, Didlake, Dudley, Dillard, Edwards, Easter, Field, Fleming, Guthrie, Goldman, Gardner, Graves, Groom, Cromm, Hall, Isom, Kidd, Kemp, Lumpkin, Muir, Meredith, Miller, Newcomb, Pigg, Pryor, Pierce, Robinson, Roane, Shackleford, Stedman, Stephens, Townley, Taliaferro, Whiting, Waller, Waldon, Webley, Widderburn, Walden, Wright, Wiatt.
