A comprehensive treatment of land transactions in Caroline, compiled and abstracted by Ray Campbell. Covers St. Mary's Parish and St. Asaph's [Drysdale] Parish. Indexed.

As the Revolutionary War was winding down and peace negotiations were being held in Paris, the states began to look at their economic prospects and the results of the war. Colonial buying power had dropped by half since 1775 and specie was in extremely short supply. Virginia, like its sister states, was casting in search of permanent sources of revenue for the operation of government.

In 1782 the General Assembly of Virginia enacted a major revision of the tax laws of the commonwealth. The act provided for statewide enumeration on the county level of land and certain personal property. The early land tax law required the tax commissioner in each district to record in “a fair alphabetical list” the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned, the value of the land or lots, and the amount of tax owed. Each tract or lot owned by an individual was to be entered separately.

During the American Revolution, the Committee of Safety for Caroline County divided the county into two districts for defense purposes. District One or A was the area northeast of the Mattapony River (St. Mary’s Parish, formerly Essex County) & Drysdale Parish, (formerly King & Queen County). Additionally, St Asaph’s Parish was created from the upper end of Drysdale in the year, 1781. District Two or B was the area southwest of the Mattapony River (St. Margaret’s Parish, previously King William County, which was a part of King & Queen before its formation). After the American Revolution, the tax rolls for the county carry these designations.

Apparently, the early Commissioners of the Revenue were primarily interested in the total amount of property held, the assessed value and the amount of tax which was due. When additional property was obtained, the Commissioner listed that in a section called the Alterations, which would appear in the year after the transfer occurred. The new acreage was simply added to the old to obtain a total of the proprietor’s holdings. No effort was made to identify the properties in relation to each other. They may have been adjacent to each other, near each other or even miles apart as long as they were in the same district. The author has identified the source for each parcel. His notations carry each parcel individually numbered with a notation as to who sold the parcel (grantor) to the land holder (grantee) as well as the year in which it was sold. When acreage was sold by the land holder, he has subtracted the amount from the total and noted to whom it was sold. Sometimes parcels are sold which contain the same acreage as a tract which was obtained and although it is tempting to assume the acreage is the identical property, there is no way to definitively prove this without some further corroboration. Additional to tracking each parcel, the author has alphabetized the land holders as best available due to the lack of standardized spellings.

A sample from a portion of page 60 of volume 1 is presented here to illustrate the format and comprehensiveness.

not indestructible
Color: 1PC
My dog ate through it in 4 days. The bear is not indestructible. It died a very undignified death. I am convinced that my dog was a goat in a past life. He eats everything that is not nailed down.

Not worth the money
Color: 1PC, Color: 1PC
DO NOY BUY!! It lasted not even 3 minutes with my 6 year old rottie. She bit right through the nose and pulled out the stuffing. Don't waste your money!! I would give it zero stars if I could!

Not good for an aggressive chewer
Color: 1PC
This toy is not indestructible. My little Aussie had one ear off and its neck cut in less then 6 hours and by the next day he had the foot chewed off. It is cute and he loved it, but it is stuffed and not really safe for an aggressive chewer.

A real review.
Color: 2PC, Color: 2PC
When I saw the Unbreakable Teddy Extreme Bear 2.0, I thought, Finally! A toy that might survive my 9-month-old Rottweiler puppy, Pepper. She’s an aggressive chewer with a love for stuffies—she adores them, right up until she disembowels them and feasts on their cotton insides like a tiny, unhinged zombie. The toy’s name, "Unbreakabear," sounded promising. Durable? Stuffie-like? For large breeds? Sign me up! Fifteen minutes later, it looked like a crime scene from a horror movie. The Good: Pepper was IN LOVE with this toy... for about 10 minutes. The double pack is nice in theory—you know, so you have a backup when the first one inevitably doesn’t live up to its "unbreakable" promise. The Bad: False Advertising: This toy is marketed as "extremely durable for aggressive chewers." But let me tell you: Pepper’s chewing isn’t aggressive—it’s surgical. She shredded the bear’s ears, ripped off the tail, and then went straight for the brain like she was auditioning for Zombie Dogs Gone Wild. It didn’t even put up a fight. Durability (or Lack Thereof): Calling this toy "extreme" is like calling a paper towel roll a chew toy. One good shake, and the seams basically exploded in surrender. Safety Concerns: Once Pepper exposed the stuffing (and the metaphorical "brains"), it was a race to see if I could stop her from swallowing it. Stuffing everywhere. The floor looked like someone had murdered a carnival bear. The Ugly: Walking into the room after Pepper was done was like stumbling upon the aftermath of a teddy bear massacre. The "Unbreakabear" lay limp on the floor, its ears and tail missing, stuffing spewed around like it was the victim of a bear-sized horror flick. Pepper, triumphant, sat there with bits of fluff clinging to her mouth, looking like a deranged extra from The Walking Dead. Final Thoughts: If your dog is a light chewer who likes to gently cuddle their toys, this might be fine. But if your dog sees toys as a challenge, run. Stick to hard rubber toys, Kongs, or something without a vulnerable, squishy middle. As for the warranty? Sure, I could try to get a replacement, but what’s the point? Pepper will just go full zombie surgeon again. Would I recommend this toy? Only if you’re filming a sequel to Teddy Bear Massacre. For aggressive chewers, this is nothing but fluff and disappointment. Pepper’s Review: 5/5 stars for taste. 0/5 stars for durability.
