I looked at them and saw no such distinction. As far as I know, quite a few women paid taxes in those days. If you owned property, you paid taxes. And, yes, some women did own property. I found plenty of Cat* Young and Cat* Mitchel entries on the censuses or substitutes, including VA and NC. Durnal, however, was harder to find. Maybe there is another reason for thinking they were men?
