LAND TAX ASSESSMENTS FOR 1780 * The land-tax assessments starting in 1780 and leading finally to the 1843 tithe apportionment provide a near continuous record of the farm-occupancy * * Note I believe that there were two different Elizabeth Hunts. The proprietor of Haxton and Middle Ridge was Elizabeth Hunt of Haxton, widow of John Hunt of Haxton who died 1772. The proprietor of Chilpham, North Land, West Barton and occupier of Kipscombe was Elizabeth Hunt of Chilpham, widow of John Hunt of Chilpham who died 1778 * * The following is the gist of the 1780 LTA (without the acreages and assessments) * Proprietor Occupier Property ___________________________________________________ Chichester Huxtable The Mills Sharland Chichester Lewis Late Radley's tenement Rev.
