Transcriber's note: There were categories upon which which the households could be taxed (such as acres of salt meadow), but almost none of these Whitney individuals owned any such property in those categories, so I omitted those columns. When only one or two individuals were recorded owning such property, I have put a notation in column 21 under "Other".
