I was searching in the VGSQ and came across the following 1800 Tax List for Halifax county. This is a direct quote: >Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly * Volume XXVII * Volume >XXVII, Number 2 (01-MAY-1989), page 107* A List of Qualified Voters, >Halifax A List of Qualified Voters, Halifax County, Virginia, 1800 Contributed by Joanne Lovelace Nance George Washington had died on 14 December 1799, and in June of the next year the new capital of the federal government, named for the first president,began to receive departmental workers. Thomas Jefferson would become the nation's third chief executive following a campaign in which he came under heavy fire from the clergymen for his alleged deism. During his first term of office, Jefferson concluded the Louisiana Purchase, and the nation witnessed congressional authorization for statehood in the Northwestern Territory. In May of 1801, international problems erupted for the new Republic in the Mediterranean when Yusuf Kararnanli, Pasha of Tripoli, ordered his troops to cut down the United States flag at its consulate. The qualified voters for the presidential election of 1800 presented below have been transcribed from the original lists recorded in Halifax County, Virginia, Deed Book 18, pp. 461-468. Prevailing laws at the time restricted suffrage to white male property owners possessed of 100 acres, unsettled, or twenty-five acres, improved. In time, certain leaseholders would be franchised, but universal white male suffrage was not achieved in Virginia until 1851 (Chilton Williamson, American Suffrage, from Property to Democracy, 1760-1860[1960], pp.13-14, 113, 225). Readers are reminded that the 1800 federal census for Virginia is no longer extant.

- 1790 and 1800 County Tax Lists of Virginia Online Steve and Bunny Binns have a massive online project underway that should benefit many genealogists researching ancestors in Virginia in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Quoting from their Web site: Everyone knows that the Federal Census Schedules are an excellent source of genealogical information. Unfortunately the Virginia Censuses for 1790 and 1800 were destroyed by fire and can never be replaced. But the early tax records of the Virginian counties still survive and list all individuals charged with a tax. They also contain names of young men who were tithable, or taxable, much like a male dependent of a household, and names of recently deceased individuals whose property was still in estate. There are many clues in tax lists that suggest family relationships that cannot be found in the early censuses. Therefore these tax lists can be used as an alternative census for the burned Federal Censuses of Virginia for 1790 and 1800. Here you will find FREE online image files and indexes of the Land Tax lists and Personal Property Tax lists for each of the individual counties and cities where indicated in the table below. The years of "1790" and "1800" are considered an approximate year. In some cases the actual year 1790 or 1800 tax list was very hard to read on the microfilm so we went up or down a couple of years to find better quality images. Each list will be indexed as time permits. We are constantly gathering tax lists and will post updates as needed. If you do not find your particular tax list today it may be here tomorrow. Steve and Bunny photocopy each tax list and scan it into their computer. They resize these images to minimize the file size and upload these images to a Web site. Then they index each list with every name they can decipher. The results are available to you today at no charge. This is a "work in progress" as Steve and Bunny are still producing the images. Here is what they have online at this time: * 32 counties * 133 tax lists * 131 tax lists are indexed * 1,139 tax list pages as jpeg images for "1790" * 1,263 tax list pages as jpeg images for "1800" * 32,515 names in our "1790" census Master Index * 37,064 names in our "1800" census Master Index They are currently working on Caroline County and King William County and hope to add at least 3 more counties next month. These are from Dick Eastman's column of March 3. This is a great resource produced by two dedicated genealogists.

Surnames: Norris, Jay, Holt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Eej.2ACIB/290.325.1 Message Board Post: My great-great-great grandfather was named Wade Hampton Holt, I believe that he was born in 1831 or 1836 in either TN or LA and he was married to a Catherine Schlicht from PA-they were married in Polk Co., IA on April 04, 1853 and that they had 3 children. I know the family history from him on to me, but know nothing of the history from Wade back, like where and when he was really born and who his parents were. I am hoping that since your relative's name was Wade Hampton Holt also, that maybe they are related to each other.
