BURGESSES IN THE 1800
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX
LISTS OF VIRGINIA

 

Note:  Stephen and Yvonne Binns have posted on their Binns site (http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ysbinns/) the scanned images of a number of the personal property tax lists of Virginia for 1790 and 1800, plus a comprehensive index. These lists amount almost to an every-name annual census of the adult free males of each of the counties and independent cities of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, beginning in 1782. All of the Burgess names mentioned therein have been abstracted here. The lists record, in the following order: the number of white names over the age of 16, the number of slaves over the age of 16, the number of slaves under the age of 16, and the number of horses. The Binns lists have been supplemented by research conducted by Michael Burgess and Mary Ann Kaucher. Counties and independent cities not named have not yet been posted.
