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.

My fave!!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Wow. I'm so impressed with this conditioner that I'd pay three times what it cost, but I'm glad it's so reasonably priced! For reference, I bought this for myself, not a child, and my hair is medium-fine, wavy, and just past my shoulders. My hair is in good condition since I gave up heat styling a few months ago, starting using more organic hair products, and also switched from chemical hair color to using pure henna. But even though my scalp is oily, my hair is on the dry side because it's still recovering from the abuse I used to put it through, plus I live in the desert. So I like a rich conditioner that deeply moisturizes my hair, and this one does that better than any other conditioner I've ever tried, and I've tried SO SO many. My hair feels hydrated and silky after using this, and shines like crazy in the sunlight. The same day I used it, my husband commented "Your hair looks so healthy." This conditioner also brings out my waves and reduces frizz, without feeling or looking heavy... but a little goes a LONG way... this is a serious conditioner, not a watered-down drugstore product. So if you over-do it, your hair may go limp. I can't stand perfume-y smelling hair products, so I'm happy to say the aroma is natural, and while I wouldn't call it "light," it's certainly not strong. I really love the scent and would describe it as warm and comforting. I hope they never stop making this stuff. It reminds me of another conditioner I really like, by Accure, but I have to say I like the results and aroma of this one even better.

Very useful for babies
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a must buy. I bought this for my son who has hypersensitivity. A little bit goes a long way and it is very concentrated. The scent is not nauseating. It washes off well and is definitely worth the price.

Extremely nourishing and moisturizing
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really like this conditioner for my daughter. It leaves her hair so soft after using, I use to use shea moisture kids conditioner on her hair and it would never feel silky or smooth after a shower. This conditioner definitely makes it feel nourished. I also love that it’s vegan. really good for your kids hair. I recommend it! As previous reviews states it has a bad scent, I don’t think so at all. The scent is just more natural. It’s not sweet and fake like these other conditioners. Love the product!

Love this conditioner
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We LOVE this conditioner. It's just the right amount of moisture for our kids' hair. Even does the trick after swim lessons in a pool with chlorine. Smells great without smelling toxic or perfumey. Tangles come right out.
