For my fellow BURTON rooters.

PROCEEDINGS AND ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND,
At a session held at St. Mary's Oct. 20 to Nov. 14, 1678.
The following information was extracted from the reference cited below. It should act as at least a partial census of Maryland for the year 1678 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.
Baltemore Co: Barton, Lewis- 40
St. Maryes Co: Burton, Francis- 1,600
