"This is an important addition to the source material about early nineteenth century Boston." -The Virginia Genealogist.
"This is a valuable book for a difficult period and locality." - Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine.
"It has a wealth of deatils for every family in town." - Myra Vanderpool Gormley, The Los Angeles Times.
Boston Taxpayers contains the entire 1821 tax list for both Boston and South Boston, and thus for 99% of Suffolk County, Mass. Originally published in 1822 and never before reprinted, the 1822 book is found today in only a few rare-book collections. A wealth of detail is included, touching on every family in Boston as awell as on partnerships, corporations, heirs, and estates.
This is an invaluable aid to early 19th century research in Boston, a period which is surprisingly difficult to research. Most of the details given here are unobtainable elsewhere. A necessary book for any research library with a Boston section.
