| This image includes the top of the sixth page of the original 1782 tax assessment return for Quemahoning Township, within Bedford County, showing the names of Residents "drove from their places by the Enemy" "Mostaller" through "Wencil"; and the names of Non-Residents "Hilligas" through "Vanderen". |
| Note: This image was scanned from a photocopy of the original 1782 tax assessment for Quemahoning Township, within Bedford County. The originals of the tax assessment returns were stored, for many years, in Vault #1 in the basement of the Bedford County Court House. The webmaster of this site was given permission by the officials of the Bedford County Court system to photocopy the original returns in the 1980s. A year or two after the original returns were photocopied, a pipe burst in the vault in which the returns were stored, causing water damage to many records, and the original tax assessment returns were subsequently transferred to the Pioneer Historical Society of Bedford County for storage. |
