Does anyone know what is meant by Black & White Polls, as in the following? Seems to have something to do with taxes: Minutes of September Court 1790 [Franklin Co.NC} Insolvent (to wit) Elisha Stallions 2 poll Robert Coggin Junr. 100 acres of Land & 1 poll in Capt Myricks District JeSse Books w 2 Black polls, William Jackson 1 White poll, Jeremiah Jackson 1 poll John Jackson 2 polls. By the way, I've added an internal search engine on my website which should cut down on the time you have to browse around (unless you just want to browse around). Plan to do a lot of scanning this weekend so you can see original document copies, since I don't have time to transcribe everything. Ya'll come.
