I have transcribed this from the original handwritten working notebooks used by the assessors with related correspondence which my family owns. They were made so that local property based taxes could be readjusted in 1834. The notebooks contain updates and corrections up to the end of the 1830s which will be highlighted in these transcriptions if present for any entry.
