Thanks very much for the information. Given your experience,
how would you interpret the "Jams - Drumore-56, (f) at Patrick
Carsons in 1759". He was in Drumore in 1756 and may or
may not have lived with Patrick Carson as a freeman;
then, he was also listed as in the category of
a freeman in 1759 at the residence of Patrick Carson,
therefore unmarried?

Are the tax records in the 1750s available for every year?
Not that missing a year really indicates anything because
I would assume there was not great effort to county everyone.
One should not assume they weren't there in the intervening
years? Is there an age reference to being listed; as noted
in another email, I believe one had to be 21 to be listed.

Some of the entries are adult children of others listed.
Trying to figure out who is who is the name of the game!
Some of the Carsons are undoubtedly related as brothers
with no way to document the relationship.

I may be more confused now than before!

Josette
