ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LISTS
Note: Prior to 1815 and from 1845-51, the lists show the number of white titheables over the age of sixteen, the number of slaves over the age of sixteen, the number of slaves aged 12-16, and the number of horses; 1815 adds a fifth digit delineating the number of cattle. From 1817-20 and 1830-44 the lists show: titheables, number of slaves aged 12-16, number of slaves over the age of 16, and horses. From 1821-29 the lists show the number of slaves over the age of 12, and the number of horses. Zeros straight across indicate no taxable personal property and no tithables (a minor or female as head of household). There were separate land tax rolls to record the taxation of real property. The levy of 1808 was never taken. Scipio Burgess was probably a free African-American. The lists were arranged in two different sections for each year; the Burgesses of Rockingham Co. are usually recorded in the Southeast District, except where noted below. Thanks to Mary Ann Kaucher for helping to compile the Rockingham lists.
