In an earlier version of the list for this year there was an assessment of £0  2s  6d for a John Shaw but the revised list allocates the tax to W Haynes so presumably his land was sold during the year. It is interesting that there was still a small Milward presence in the area. The Jethro Shaw here was b. 1748 and d. 1802, he married Sarah Wall.
