In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two \"fair copies\" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: \"Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in \"a fair alphabetical list\" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as \"free\" or \"FN.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present abstract of Halifax's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 \"substitute\" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the current volume, the data is recorded thus:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruce, James 1 43 29\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eto indicate one tithable male, forty-three slaves over 12, and twenty-nine horses, mares or mules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as \"exempt\", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Thus \"Bruce, James\", who was living with only himself as a tithable in 1810, would appear in the land tax list as Bruce, James, with three separate individuals with the same given name, along with the two John Bruces mentioned in the tax list; all of these were located in the district of Robert Hurt, while the home of Charles Bruce in the district assigned to Berryman Green was cited as being on Miry Creek.

The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an \"outline\" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a \"text\" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of \"identifiers\" to determine if \"same name\" was also \"same person\" within a district or across districts, marginal quality\/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eobserve distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as \"Smith\", \"Anderson\", etc;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse the 1815 information as a \"bridge\" from the 18th and 19th century deed\/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants\/patents in the county;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubstitute this information for missing deed\/will books in the \"burned\" counties; and, clarify\/enhance vague deed\/will information in the counties with more complete records.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location\/place-name of land; miles\/direction from the 1815 courthouse. If multiple owners are listed for a property, the listing is duplicated under each of the owner's surnames (i.e \"Smith and Brown\" is also listed as \"Brown, --see Smith\"); when multiple owners share a common surname, the property is only listed once. When a landowner had land at more than one location\/place-name, the miles\/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.). In the few cases where a landowner had \"many\" parcels, the miles\/direction notation is attached to the location listing (i.e. Sandy RV- 5NE, Willow CK-7S, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoger G.

Much of this was requisitioned from the civilian population and certificates were issued payable in either continental or state funds, depending on the units supplied, upon presentation to court authorities. Thousands of these certificates issued to Virginians were duly entered by the courts, and they provide a fascinating insight into the period of the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese \"Publick\" Claims booklets contain interesting and useful information about the contributions of ordinary people to the Revolutionary War. They provide some details of people's service in the militia or as guards for prisoners of war; they indicate where some bodies of troops were at particular times; and they identify providers of horses, wagons, cattle, grain, or other supplies. Much of the information in these booklets cannot be found anywhere else, which makes the surviving records particularly valuable. Also remarkable is the fact that records survived from virtually every county in the state at that time with the exception of the newly formed Kentucky counties. This makes the collection even more valuable in covering areas which heretofore in this time period have suffered from a lack of personal data. The \"Virginia Publick Claims\" are published by counties. In addition to a faithful transcription by Janice Luck Abercrombie and the late Richard Slatten, a complete index is provided for each county booklet.

The index contains the names of the main families only, but the various lists are alphabetically arranged.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWirt Johnson Carrington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1924), 2008, paper, 525 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806379555\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-0890\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42413090537590,"sku":"102-0890","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-0890.png?v=1753362617"},{"product_id":"101-va029","title":"Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Volume 29, Issues 1, 2, 3, index, 1991","description":"\u003cp\u003eArticles included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Keys of Keysville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlbemarle County, Virginia Court Orders, 1744\/45 - 1748; August Term 1747 - December Term 1747\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolders of Revolutionary Public Service Claims in King and Queen County\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirginia Land Patent Book 26, Pages 301 - 723\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Merchant's Account Book, King and Queen County, Virginia, 1750-1751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrince George County, Virginia Wills and Deeds, 1710-1713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaveated Land Surveys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding Mary's Lost Identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirginia Land Patent Book 27, Pages 1-149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalifax County, Virginia Guardian Bonds, 1790-1799\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlbemarle County, Virginia Wills and Deeds, 1710-1713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrince George County, Virginia Wills and Deeds, 1710-1713\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Merchant's Account Book, King and Queen County, Virginia, 1750-1751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegislative Petitions from Virginia Counties with Significant Record Losses:  3.
