Transcription Notes:
Please read TC instructions on table transcription. It is incorrect to add rows of dashes between entries. The one row of dashes per table goes immediatley after the header row. There can be no blank lines, spaces, or anything between rows--the table will not render otherwise. --------------------------------- Reopened -added rows of | --- | between entries -unknowns in the first row of Loudoun county. I'm thinking it is showing Bolands plural, and that John and Wm are brothers, but I am not completely sure so I put double brackets around ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-17 11:10 AM Reopening-Table isn't transcribed. -- Stopped at Fourth District section ------------------------------------- "do" means ditto. You must transcribe the words in full that it is referencing [[did not see this^ note until end; changed back to do for accuracy. not sure if those need to be changed back.]]------------------------ -Please read TC instructions on table transcription.
