Prince William County McLaughlins #2

Joan,

Do you think either of these belong to our McGlaughlins? I think I've exhausted the possibilities at my library. Also checked Fauquier Co., Fairfax and Alexandria.

Newsletter of the Prince William County Genealogical Society, Vol. 3, No. 8, February 1985. [unpublished]
Residents of Western Dettingen Parish, 1747. "[The following register was transcribed from a microfilm copy, on the same reel with the earliest surviving vital records of Prince William County...]"... " [The list reports all tithable inhabitants of the region between Bull Run and Cedar Run (the lower part of which is now considered part of the Occoquan River), in 1747. It is a rather full record, in geographic order, of the families living in what is now western Prince William County, lacking the names of children under age 17 and of adult white women, who were not charged with the tithable tax.]"
