Personal Property Tax Lists of Buckingham County, Virginia, Volume 2, 1792-1802

Description: Personal property tax lists are more complete than the census or land tax lists because land tax lists only include landowners and “The census taker came every ten years and often missed people. The tax collector came every year and seldom missed anyone.” Few Buckingham County records survived the 1869 fire, making this tax list a valuable one. Spanning 11 years with 14,355 individual records; 47,180 tithes,>600 different surnames, tables and graphs and much other information. The curious researcher will find much of interest here. Included are the names of the taxpayers, male cohabitants, slaves, horses, riding carriages and ordinary licenses. The originals' format and all information is preserved. Includes preface, introduction, historical background, detailed explanations of the book’s features, alternate surname spellings and abbreviations, a user's guide, appendices and a complete bibliography and reference section to aid continued research. Features a 130 page index and 261 pages of transcribed records of every name, enabling rapid assembly of information needed from a succession of years for analysis.Tax records are much like census records, but will more precisely fix time and place of residence. "Valuable genealogical conclusions can be deduced from these records, nicknamed "annual censuses," such as: relationships, approximate years of birth, socio-economic status, identification of neighbors, the ability to distinguish between persons of the same name, evidence of land inheritance, years of migration, and year of death.“ A scholarly work that offers a unique combination of features, encompassed within a single, very usable and thoughtful layout."A much needed resource considering the lack of early Buckingham County records. All researchers with ancestors in Buckingham in the 1700's need this book in their collection. The transcription is very thorough, and nicely laid out, making it very easy to read. The indexing is excellent, a must for this type of book. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Marty Grant, Kinston,NC". “Deserves a place in every Virginia researcher’s library.” Ted O. Brooke, Cumming, Georgia. Written by a genealogist, historian and Virginia native, this book represents a needed and valuable addition to the transcribed records for the county and is sure to help many to further trace their family history and more fully understand the social, economic and political structure of the lives of these too-long forgotten early Virginians of Buckingham County.
