My family has the original 1833 handwritten working notebooks used to compile this along with associated correspondence. They are old and faded so I am putting it up here in stages starting with the assessment for houses and buildings. The purpose of the data collection was to readjust local tax rates for 1834. The books contain some pencilled in additional information for a few years after their initial completion. If any appear for this section of the assessment I will indicate so below. I am uploading assessment parts in the order they chime in with research I am doing.
