Please could some one do a lookup for me on FMP at the Texas, County Tax Rolls 1846-1910.

I'm looking at Wm HURN 1882 Clay County

There are 12 results come up for Wm Hurn, and 11 of them are from Clay County.
I think those 11 are the Wm Hurn I'm looking for, but please could some one just look at one of them, to see what information it gives.

I am a member of FMP but haven't upgraded, so am unable to access those records.
