Does anyone have any further information about these Burgin/Bergin/Birgin/Burgan men who were on the tax lists (1723-1759) in Somerset County Maryland when they were 15 or older?
At http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/coagser/c1800/c1812/html/c1812_int... there is an explanation and a link to the lists.

The numbers were just the order that they were on the tax list. I’ve included them to make it easier to scroll down at the site. There are missing years, and there are illegible names in existing years. I also could have missed someone, but I tried not to.
