THE TAX LEVY OF WORCESTER COUNTY FOR THE YEAR 1766 From Appendix to Volume 61 of the Archives of Maryland

Converted to HTML by Craig O'Donnell <[email protected]> who is interested in the surnames Fassitt, Tingle, Lynch, Pitts, Brevard.   Adopted by the County Court at Snowhill Town, December 8, 1766. This Levy is discussed in more detail on pages cvi-cviii of Volume 61. Notes: p means "per" Do means "Ditto" Dos is a plural Ditto. Other abbreviations should be easy to decipher. The OCR output was proofed but there still may be a few typos. "Copomco" probably means Queponco. Go to: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8
