Notebook - Virginia #2, Part III

Fothergill, Augusta & John Naugle. Virginia Tax Payers, 1782-87, Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1966.

The 1790 census records for some Virgina counties were destroyed during the War of 1812.

My [Augusta Fothergill] effort has been to make use of the first personal property tax lists for those counties then extant in order to supply this deficiency.  The lists are not absolutely conclusive since some men did not pay taxes if they were indigent, exempt for physical disabilities or if they held certain political or military offices.  However, in some instances we find taht some of the latter paid on some of their personalty.

Ordinarily it would have seemed wiser to have published the tax payers as they occurred in the original lists but in all but ten of the counties they have already been letter grouped by the enumerators so that any value as to neighbors has been destroyed.

Fayette and Lincoln Counties of the present Kentucky have been included, then being in Virginia, but the lists for Jefferson County having been removed to Kentucky could not be included as I am only using those lists in our [Virginia] state archives.
