http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/FreeSample/CDR-000401/1782/1782Personal/05.jpg Buckingham Co., Va., 1782 April 9, 1782 A List of Taxable Property Taken by William Duiguid Could this be Francis "Frank" Chaudoin, Jr. on page 5? He is not listed in the home of his father, so apparently was married and renting a home in the same county. Propietors, Free males above 21 & Negroes Frank Shadwong: 1; Negroes: 0; Horse: 1; Cattell: 2; Owner's Name: Peter Day Perhaps the corruption of the surname from Chaudoin to Shadowen occurred with Francis, Jr. originally. Anyone else have any thoughts? Other French names on same page: Guerrant, Chastain, & Perron and probably others in the area. ******************************* http://www.binnsgenealogy.com/FreeSample/CDR-000401/1782/1782Personal/16.jpg Then we apparently have Francois Chaudoin, Sr. and son, John on page 16. Sons: Lewis, Francis, Jr., and Reuben are apparently out of the home and more than likely married. Persons Names: Francis Chaudoin; Names of the slaves & tithables both white and black: John Chaudoin; No. of all slaves: 0; No. of all tithes: 2; No. of free males above 21: 1; No. of Riding Carriages: 0; No. of Horses: 3; No. of Cattle: 3 In records received from Jeter Grimsley over 15 years ago, I have this entry which mentions more than what the above gives: Personal Property and Land Tax Records commenced in 1782 in VA. By law, all white males as residents were tithable. In addition, each adult had to report his son, name or number, when he became age 16 until age 21. Francis & son, John, appear together on Buckingham Co., VA Personal Property & Land Tax under "White Tithes (2)". They are charged with "(1) Black Tithe" named Poll, "(3) horses", and "163 acres". (Source: Jeter GRIMSLEY) There is a discrepancy from the one on the webpage listing and from what Jeter shared. Anyone have additional comments. Perhaps he was looking at something else also.
