This Land Tax Records book contains all of the readable years between 1782 and 1799. The first two years (1782 and 1783) were done by a single individual. The 1784 to 1786 years are missing with only additions and errors listed; however, all readable additions between 1784 and 1792 are included. 1787 is the first year records exist showing the county was divided into two districts, an upper and lower. Complete years for 1789 and 1790 are missing with only additions and alienations. Beginning with 1791 there are records for one or both districts through 1799. The forms for the most part are the same during the period. The columns of the Land Tax typically include: Proprietors or Persons Names Owning Land; Quantity of Lands (# of Acres); Price or Rate of Land per Acre (2/6, 7/6, 10/); Total Amt. of Value (of Land); and, Amount of the tax @ __ rate sometimes at top of the first page in District. It is interesting to note that the currency of pounds, shillings and pence was used in Land Tax Records far longer than in Personal Property records. In fact, 1797 was the first year property value and tax were noted in dollars and cents.
