Hi again, Maybe we have a thread going here <grin> women who are head of households and Mallicoats. Last week at my genealogy library I FINALLY got a chance to look up the (or at least start looking up the Grays). When I rented the 1850 Grainger Census (and ran over a month!!) I did not know "my" Louisa Mayes maiden name. In a way I don't mind since the library had the tape and with all the people I had on the Grainger County 1850 census I was nearly blind by the time I returned it. Anyway the woman I believe to be Elizabeth GRAY MALLICOAT is listed next to Edward L. TATE and Mary Ann GRAY TATE. One child a daughter aged 8 whose name I could not make out is listed in the household. I was wondering if anyone knows when James Mallicoat Elizabeth's husband died. I thought maybe some of you Mallicoat researchers would know. Gail > connects to the Dodson/Dotson and Mallicoat lines. It just adds another piece > to the puzzle. > > Elaine Dodson Thomas > >

Jetta, That is an interesting question and one I don't know the answer to. However, I would imagine the same rules would apply. I too have noticed women as head of household on tax lists. Women couldn't vote of course, but they in inherited and controlled property. Actually I don't believe I have seen any women, who I know through my own research were elderly widows, on tax lists. Anybody else have better information for Jetta? Gail > > Thanks, Gail > > Therefore, any free or white male would be 21 or above, but not over 50. > Now I have another question.

Hi Grp & Carolyn,(?) would the lady that had the TVA books, and was going to do look-ups please email me, as I have recieved nothing from you and was wondering if you had sent info ,and I had not gotten it ,or if you found nothing? I hope I did not overwhelm you...my aplogies if I did,.....If you can,please let me know. Thanks, Sharon

Hi Sandy. I for one am glad it didn't go directly to Bill as you had planned. I'm sure there's a number of us out here who are interested in any line that connects to the Dodson/Dotson and Mallicoat lines. It just adds another piece to the puzzle.

Thanks, Gail Therefore, any free or white male would be 21 or above, but not over 50. Now I have another question. What if the person listed as head of household was female, would the same rules apply? Would she be charged poll tax if she was between 21 and 50? Now that I understand poll tax, maybe I can use it to help determine age range. Thanks again, Jetta

Further on 1799 tax list On August 23 the following tax rates were set For each white poll .12 1/2 For each 100 acres of land .12 1/2 For each Black poll .25 For each stud horse kept for covering mares .25 For each town lott .12 1/2 Gail in MO

Bless you, Jetta for asking this question. (However, I DO think I have found the answer.) Some of us may be overly proud, because I have been dying to ask the list forever and haven't done so since I thought it was something everyone knew and I was particularly clueless. In the meantime I have FRUITLESSLY searched every genealogy dictionary on the internet and in print, looked for definitions of legal terms etc. The term 50 or 250 etc. acres was fairly easy. Like you I figured out that was the land they owned or at least the land they were taxed on. Black polls or poles (you see it both ways) must be a tax on slaves and white polls or free polls a tax on white men probably voters. Anyway that was more or less what I figured out, but yesterday was my day to volunteer at my genealogy society library and I did find a good definition.... This is Polyanna Creekmore's explanation of the rates for her transcription of the 1799 tax list. "In the provisions of the act of 1797 white polls consisted of 'all free males and male servants between the ages of twenty one and fifty years..." slaves "all slaves MALE and FEMALE between the ages of 12 and 50 years." You have also probably noticed from various tax lists that there was also a tax on stud horses and town lots as well as land and free polls (or white polls) and black polls.

On the early Grainger County Tax Lists the word "poll" was used. There were numerous persons in Grainger County with FP after their name. FP= Free poll----What does this mean? PT= Poll tax-----What does this mean? The tax book did not explain the abbreviations. Sometimes a person would not have "Poll" after their name, but a number with lower case "a" beside it such as 120a. I thought this meant that the person owned 120 acres. What is the difference between "John, 1 WP" and " John, 1FP" and "John 120a" and "John, 1PT." I am hoping that someone can explain the abbreviations to me. Thanks for your time...Jetta

Hello, Is their anyone on this list that lives in or around Grainger Co? My Husband & I are planning a trip around Labor Day weekend,leaving here on a Sunday the 4th, & spending about 4 or 5 days there. I would like to know if someone could check & see if the libraries & court houses will be open, Tuesday,Sept 6th. I plan on visiting Morristown,Thornhill, Hancock & ETC: Thank you so much. Lorene Dalton Ridenour, S W Ohio reride@erinet.com

Gail, Both Economy and Kidwell's Ridge are in Volume 3 of the Hamblen County, Tennessee Cemeteries. Grace

Thank you so much Grace. Since so many people came here from Morristown around the turn of the century the Atchison Library has the first of the three Hamblen County cemetery books. I am wondering which of the books contain listings for Economy and Kidwell's Ridge. The first book is mostly Emma Jarnigan! I think the graves I am looking for are probably unmarked.... It is always interesting to me to see the various ways "cemetery books" are compiled. It seems to me in looking at Volume 1 that the Hamblen County books are straightforward tombstone transcriptions, but nevertheless I am thinking of getting one at least of the remaining volumes for my own use and then donating it to the library.
