Binns  --  The source data of the tax list for this year is from the Binns Genealogy project to scan and index Virginia tax lists for 1790 and 1800 (dates of the burned census records) and make them available for research.  Please visit their site at http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/VirginiaTaxListCensuses/ to see images of the original tax records as well as other information.

Land -- Although most tax lists are of personal property, Binns Genealogy states when a Land tax list was used as a souce of a name.  LandB, would be the land tax list from district B.
