At what age did a person have to be before being exempt from paying taxes? My John Bradley was exempt from paying taxes the 30 April 1789. Now what confuses me is in 1793, 1795, he still had road jury...Could one be the Father and the other a son the same name. Thank you Pat Graves Reagan *****still searching for the parents of Harrison Hoke/Houk served as bondsman in Lincoln County 1845 to a Martin Huffman and Elizabeth Hovis marriage any help or suggestions would be welcome
