Dear Breedlove Researchers, I have transcribed the Albemarle co., VA tax lists for Breedlove for 1782-1799. When I tried to send the results to myself, the columns showing the various taxable categories, did not hold true on the page. So I am going to summerize what I found. With the exception on 1782 which was divided into six districts, the Albemarle List is divided into two parts. The area where the Breedloves lived was first described as Fredericksville Parish, then variously as Thomas Garrett's List, Thomas Garth's List, James Lewis' list. 1782 Thomas Breedlove, 1 male +21, 1 black, 7 cattle, 2 horses. 1783, unreadable; 1784 no Breedloves found 1785, Thomas: 1 male; 14 cattle, 3 horses 1786, Thomas: 1 male; 3 cattle 1787, Thomas: 1 male +21; 2 males 18-21; 5 cattle; 14 horses 1788, Thomas: 3 males 16-21; 4 horses 1789, Thomas: 2 males 16-21; 4 horses 1790, Thomas: [no tithes], 3 horses Cornelius: 1 male 16-21; 1791, Thomas: [no tithes]; 4 horses Maddison: 2 males +16; 3 Blks +16; 3 horses 1792, Thomas: [no tithes], 3 horses Maddison 1 male +16; 4 blks +16; 2 blks 12-16; 3 horses Martin 1 male +16 1793 Thomas: 1 male +16; 2 horses Maddison: 1 male +16; 7 blks +16; 1 blk 12-16; 8 horses 1794 Thomas: 2 males +16; 2 horses Maddison 1 male +16; 4 horses Cornelius: 1 male +16; 1 horse 1795 Thomas: 2 males +16; 1 blk +16; 2 horses Maddison 2 males +16; 6 blks +16; 9 horses Cornelius 1 male +16; 1 horse 1796 Thomas: 2 males +16; 4 horses Maddison 2 males +16; 6 blks +16; 1 blk 12-16; 7 horses Cornelius 1 male +16; 1 horse 1797 Thomas [no tithes]; 4 horses Maddison 2 males +16; 6 blks +16; 1 blk 12-16; 6 horses Cornelius 1 males +16; 2 horses 1798 Thomas [no tithes]; 4 horses Maddison 2 males +16; 6 blks +16; 1 blk 12-16; 6 horses Cornelius 1 male +16; 1 blk +16; 2 horses 1799 Thomas: [no tithes] 2 blks +16; 1 horse Maddison 2 males +16; 6 blks +16; 1 blk 12-16; 6 horses Cornelius 1 male +16 It's interesting to observe how the information for Thomas Breedlove changes. He must have been made exempt from taxes for himself, for many years, because of his advanced age or illness. Without doubt Albemarle County taxed it's citizens before 1782 [the year these lists began], but this is what has survived. I have ordered the film for the next tax list which goes to 1813.
