Colonial Tax Lists
1704 Quit Rent Rolls
Land Tax - Names with acreage
Note that the preface to these records in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography notes that it appears that some of the persons paying taxes were renters or leasers of the land. That certainly appears to be the case with John Granger (married to Mary Puckett Womack Granger), who was apparently leasing land belonging to Richard Womack Jr, in addition to Granger's own land. John Granger had a patent for 72 acres in Henrico adjoining Richard Womack on 20 Oct 1704 (Patent Book 9:628). This 72 acres was apparently included in the 472 acres Granger was charged with in April 1705 All or most of the remaining 400 acres likely belonged to Richard Womack Jr.
Henrico County, April 1705

Henrico 1736 tax list (Dale Parish by Sheriff John Nash)
From Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Volume III, by Beverley Fleet (available on ancestry.com)
Note: Dale Parish was formed in 1735 by taking the part of Bristol Parish north of the Appomattox River and the part of Henrico Parish south of the James River. So, it covered almost the entire area that later became Chesterfield Co, VA in 1749, except a small section of northwest Chesterfield Co that was King William Parish. Later, in 1772, the north part of Dale Parish was split off to form Manchester Parish. We know that John Nash was the tax collector for Dale Parish, because it says so under his own entry in the 1736 tax list.
