Transcriber's notes

This assessor often makes a small 'o' that is indistinguishable from a small 'e'. When in doubt, I have decided to transcribe the letter to fit with the modern, standardized spelling of the given word, if I can figure it out (e.g., his 'Terryburn' becomes Torryburn). In the case of surnames with variant spellings, however (e.g. Andersen/Anderson) I have had no choice but to read the letter literally, as an 'e'.
