| This image includes the bottom of the eighth page of the original 1781 tax assessment return for Bedford Township, within Bedford County. This page shows fifty-three tracts of non-resident lands in Bedford Township amounting to 18904 acres. It is difficult to read, and therefore a transcription is not provided here. |
| Note: This image was scanned from a photocopy of the original 1781 tax assessment for Bedford Township, within Bedford County. The originals of the tax assessment returns were stored, for many years, in Vault #1 in the basement of the Bedford County Court House. The webmaster of this site was given permission by the officials of the Bedford County Court system to photocopy the original returns in the 1980s. A year or two after the original returns were photocopied, a pipe burst in the vault in which the returns were stored, causing water damage to many records, and the original tax assessment returns were subsequently transferred to the Pioneer Historical Society of Bedford County for storage. |
