* Hampshire County [West] Virginia Personal Property Tax
Lists, 1800-1814
(Book - Amazon.com) :
Hampshire County Virginia Personal Property Tax Lists
consists of alphabetically arranged lists of all persons
who paid a property tax for every year between 1800 and
1814, except for 1808, when no tax was collected. For each
taxpayer Mrs. Horton has coded the number of white
tithables in the household, the number of horses owned,
and the number of slaves, if any. On occasion, persons are
identified with supporting information, such as occupation.
All the taxpayers are readily identified in the
comprehensive index at the back of the volume. Since this
volume contains more than 20,000 entries, it is hard to
imagine a better census approximation of Hampshire County
residents for this time period.
