I, Samuel H. Skinner have examined the aforegoing List of Land subject to Taxation, and find the same to be correctly stated. Given under my hand this 23rd day of May 1816

This land tax listing was abstracted from the District Listing by only transcribing properties identified as being lots in Falmouth.
Free African American citizens owning property in Falmouth were noted in the land tax with a B. In transcribing the close parenthesis has been added
