Tax Records of Dinwiddie County, Virginia

I found these recently in some old records and believe this extract of Dinwiddie Co., Va. tax records may be more extensive than others I have seen so we are going to share it in case it has additional information.  I have typed them exactly as they appear in the printed text so I have no more insight as to interpretation. As we all know, most records of Dinwiddie Co. were burned during the Civil War which has made the documentation of the Pegram family in Dinwiddie Co. very difficult.
