Names are spelled as they appear in the tax book, at least as well as I could decipher. Despite the occasional "Isaac" or "Josiah" the listings are for Isaiah Slavens and his sons as they came of age and established their own homes. Tax books on the microfilm started with 1797, but Isaiah did not appear until 1800.

1828 According to the microfilm, no 1828 book was found. However,
because of the duplication in the sets of books for 1829, I
wonder if one of them was for 1828.
1829 Book is water damaged and large sections are illegible.
