April 1779 Tax List
New Brunswick, North Ward, Middlesex Co., NJ
John Voorheis, assessor
I have transcribed this list as it appeared, alphabetized by first name. I
have to admit, that is probably the only way I would have found my family,
as the last name was so strangely spelled. I encourage you to use both this
list and the other one that is alphabetized by last name.
Columns were first name, last name, acreage, value of land, horses, cattle,
hogs, total value (pounds, shilling, pence) householders (only applies if
person did not own land), shopkeepers, saw mills, grist mills, tuling
mills, taverns, tanyards, ferries, vessels, single men & horse, single men,
slaves, riding chairs, tax
I only list the name, acreage, number of horses, cattle & hogs (separated
by dashes), total value (pounds, shilling, pence separated by slashes) and
anything that appears in the columns after that, except for tax due.
