It should act as a partial census of Maryland for the year 1681 since all inhabitants were levied a tax of tobacco. The manner of determining the amount of the levy is unknown but appears to be based in part on the amount of land or property owned by the individual. Therefore, the relative size of the levy should give some indication of the wealth of the individual. The number appearing after each name is the levy assessed in pounds of tobacco. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARCHIVES OF MARYLAND PROCEEDINGS AND ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND OCTOBER 1678-NOVEMBER 1683 PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILLIAM HAND BROWNE Editor BALTIMORE MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1889 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS AND ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, At a session held at St. Mary’s, November 1-12 1681.
