It was a head tax. In colonial NC, it was on males age 16 and up. Rick Saunders http://genealogypro.com/fsaunders.html

And, sometimes, men were exempted from the poll tax because of age or infirmity. Perhaps that's why Morgan Bryan doesn't show on the 1759 list? He died in 1763 at age 92! Same, also maybe, for Squire Boone who died in 1765 at age 69.
