Description

Free Blacks on the Frederick County, Virginia Personal Property Tax Lists, 1793-1862The author has abstracted the information for free African Americans in Frederick County, Virginia and has arranged them into nine categories: Year; last name; first name; age; occupation [only given infrequently on the rolls]; spouse [infrequent]; property description & value; district in which taxpayer resided; notes [oftentimes describing the exact location of the taxpayer or his former owners if freed in recent decades]. This volume is provided in

The author has abstracted the information for free African-Americans in Frederick County, Virginia and has arranged them into nine categories:
Year;
last name;
first name;
age;
occupation [only given infrequently on the rolls];
spouse [infrequent];
property description & value;
district in which taxpayer resided;
notes [oftentimes describing the exact location of the taxpayer or his former owners if freed in recent decades].

This volume is provided in three separate arrangements to facilitate genealogical research by African-American families; 1) chronologically by year; 2) sorted by last name of the individual; and 3) sorted by first name.

A similar volume is in preparation for the town of Winchester, which was taxed separately from Frederick County.

Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records provide a wealth of information regarding the social status of an individual. 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." By the 1850s, the personal property tax records contained detailed descriptions of personal property owned.

The most frequent use of personal property tax records is for the direct information recorded: name of the property owner, type and quantity of property owned, and amount of tax paid. Comparative analysis of personal property tax records from year to year may lead to conclusions about social, economic, and agricultural history, as well as the status of certain individuals or groups of property owners within a locality.

For genealogical researchers, personal property tax records may provide important data. Individuals with the same names in a locality may be distinguished by a junior or senior, residence in different tax districts, or geographical location. Parentage may be expressly or implicitly stated by either the name or number of male tithables between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one in the household of the taxpayer. The names of women appear occasionally when owning property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner. By studying the lists from year to year, researchers may trace an ancestor to determine the date of departure from a locality, or possibly the year of death. The name of a taxpayer will continue on the tax list, noted as "deceased" or "estate," until the estate is settled.

C.G. Delivers Once Again -- Would Expect Nothing Less !!!
LOVE CHEM GUYS. these little wipes are awesome for quick cleaning. and to leave in the trunk of the car for UBER Driving. i love the VRP Hydro Spray - but you still need a rag to wipe it around. this solves that problem. just need 2 to clean the whole car !! and i have weather.tech floor mats front and back. these VPR Wipes make them look brand new in 5sec flat. and makes the black plastic car trim look sexy AF. NGL. but i dont like it on the leather seats. its a little too slippery for me. i like the OG Leather Conditioner for that. the cleaning wipes are really good too. can use them for any/every thing. one square will die out kinda quick, but it you use 2, it lasts a long azz time. (Clean Wipes AND VRP Wipes)

Alright
The interior cleaner are a little too dry for my liking- it feels like I need to use multiple wipes for the same area. I like the VPR for the plastics around the car (looks a little greasy), but I don’t think $20 is worth only 30 wipes each. I would rather buy the spray. Maybe I’m not using the wipes correctly but “shines like new” didn’t happened on the doors.

Excellent combo pack.
The cleaner & protectant and VRP protectant are my new go to cleaner and protectant wipes, I’ve been using another brand for 30+ years but it’s time to try other brands, I bought these to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint, it works very well, I work in very dusty environments trying to clean and protect the interior is an ongoing battle, so far this combo cleaner and protectant is doing its thing as expected, the cleaner wipes are not heavily soaked but with just the right amount without leaving any streaks and the same goes for the protectant wipes.
