Note to requestor: These tax lists are unconsistent, if they are anything. . Some lists have no title information, except dates seem to be included on each list. . Some later lists are alphabetical, which can be problematic if you want to determine location of property, identification of neighbors, movement to new property in a different neighborhood, etc. . White women are rarely listed. When they are listed by name it is because they were head of household with underage dependents. White women were not "taxables" so they are not listed generally speaking, at least by name. the 1786 and 1787 lists contain the number of white women in each household. Black women were taxable thus black women are listed, but not by name in the later lists; the earlier lists give names of slaves for a few years. All blacks or "mulattos" were taxable and were listed. Some households appear to be mixed-race households. It is recorded that races intermarried to the annoyance of colonial goverment of the time before the Revolution. . 16 years of age was the legal age until 1784 when legal age became 21 for men and women. If you were of legal age you were a poll and thus were listed. ____ Michael, I'm starting to add the above note to people who request lookups. I won't be doing it for very long because I'm getting a bit overwhelmed!

Was there by chance a Margare tLittle on the Alexander Little property, this would be Neil McAlpin's future wife, I had not located her fathers name. Regards, Michael T McAlpin

Found him—right in the area you specify. The reason I know it's in that area is that he is in a list of a neighborhood that contains my own ancestors and I know exactly where they lived. Unfortunately the list only gives the name and value of the person's property. The list itself is not in alphabetical order so it's not unreasonable to assume that those listed near "Neil McCalpin" are his neighbors. Neil McCalpin is listed at a value of 18 pounds, 10 (shillings). His immediate 'neighbors' are Philip Ikner, James Ard, John McCollum on one side, and Alx. Little, James McNeill (my ancestor) and Jas. Biggs on the other side. The only other thing I can say is that Neil McAlpin had very little money compared to his neighbors. I can guess that he lived along the northern arc of the Raft Swamp. which is near Big Marsh. These lands would today be in upper Hoke County, NC, not far from the town of Raeford. Did you know there were McAlpins that lived below Red Springs in Robeson County before the 1830s?

No Jacob Miller in either volume. There can be found a few "Meloy" families: Charles Meloy and Daniel Meloy. Both Charles Meloy and Daniel Meloy are listed (among a few others) in a Petition to the court of Bladen county, dated 1782, as having been in a Tory party under the command of Cols. Hector McNeill and Duncan Ray that raided the premises of John Plummer in June 1781 and stole certain articles, the value of which Plummer wished to be reimbursed for. They are found in a second petition, listed along with the same men in the first petition, as having taken a Zachariah Plumer prisoner, wounded and robbed him. These Meloy men are not mentioned in the tax lists, but in the loose papers that were found with the tax lists in the 1980s at Duke University. No version of the name Malloy, Moloy, etc can be found in the indexes. There were, however, Malloy families in the area at that time. The tax lists are not complete; some neighborhoods are missing from year to year.

I would be interested in Neil Mcalpin if he is listed (he should be on the West side of the Big Marsh, across from Buie’s Pond …. next to the McGoogan Farm.) Thanks, Michael T McAlpin

I have both volumes of the Bladen County Tax Lists covering the years 1768-1789. If anyone would like a lookup in these two volumes, let me know. Be aware that there are no Bladen tax lists for the years 1773, 1777, 1780-85, or 1788.

Sam, I have three or four addresses for you and don't know which is being used. Please contact me with the email address used at present. Fran

Looking for information on Alfred Lupo (b. 1829) buried at piney grove baptist church in SC with his wife Martha (should be Rogers.) I am told this is my ancestor. Most of my family lived either in robeson county NC or the Marion SC area or both. Not sure if this is the parent of both Alfred Lupo and Alexander (Sandy) Lupo. --------------------------------- Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo! Mail for Mobile and always stay connected to friends.

I recently purchased Volume I, Bladen County, North Carolina Tax Lists 1768 Through 1774 from heritagebooks.com. The book is newly printed, so there are likely other copies for sale through heritagebooks.com

Fran, I didn't send it to you but I know that it comes from the book "Bladen County, North Carolina Abstracts of Early Deeds 1738-1804" by Holcomb. It is on page 50 of my copy of this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book of abstracted Bladen County deeds to researchers of early Bladen County. Not all deeds were destroyed in the 3 fires that consumed Bladen's deeds over a 130 year period. Also, if you're looking for early tax lists for Bladen, try to find Vol 1 and/or 2 of Byrd's "Bladen County North Carolina Tax Lists"; the first volume is 1768 - 1774 and the second volume is 1775-1789. The originals were found at Duke buried in a private collection. Byrd transcribed them, I understand, and produced the 2 volumes. These lists give us an incredible view of families and their immediate neighbors for 23 years. I've found so much info from these two books. The first volume is almost impossibly hard to find to purchase but you can find the second volume online to buy.

Mary Ray, I'm interested in knowing what you know about the Betsy Griffin, 2nd wife. My earliest predecessor was Joseph Griffin from Columbus (at the time Bladen) county. Bladen was later divided into Robeson, Columbus and Bladen counties. I have records of our Joseph having served in the Revolutionary War. Since they were the only Griffins, (to my knowledge)in the area at the time, I have a hunch your Betsy may have been connected in some way to them. Can you add any more to our knowledge of Betsy.

Sam, Nazareth Mitchell received a pension for his Revolutionary War service...Pension #S8897. The following information is found in his pension record...

There is a memorial marker to his memory on the Fairgrove Road out from Fairmont.
