Katie, In reply to your question regarding the 1820 Personal Property Tax List, my listing of the columns varies according to which district is involved. For Jesse Prunty's District, the headings are as follows: Col. Heading 1 Date of Receiving List 2 Names of Owners 3 Whites over 16 years old 4 Slaves over 16 years old 5 Slaves over 12 & under 16 years old 6 Horses 7 Stud Horses 8 Rate of the Season (referring to stud horses) 9 2 wheel riding carriages with the harness not exceeding $100 10 2 wheel riding carriages with the harness exceeding $100 11 Pheatons & stage waggons with the harness not exceeding $200 12 Pheatons & stage waggons with the harness exceeding $200 13 Other carriages with the harness not exceeding $300 14 Other carriages with the harness exceeding $300 15 Tax in $ & cts 16 [Blank heading, but probably for "remarks"] For Moses Greer's District, the headings are as follows: Col. Heading 1 Date of Receiving Lists from individuals 2 Persons Names chargeable with the tax 3 White Males 16 years of age 4 No of Slaves over 16 years of age 5 No of Slaves above 12 & under 16 years of age 6 No of Horses 7 No of Stud Horses 8 Rate per Season (referring to stud horses) 9 2 wheel riding carriages not exceeding in value $100 10 2 wheel riding carriages exceeding in value $100 11 Pheatons & stage waggons not exceeding in value $200 12 Pheatons & stage waggons exceeding in value $200 13 Clocks [should this be "other carriages"?] not exceeding in value $300 14 Clocks exceeding in vlaue $300 15 Total Amount of Tax 16 Proof Hope this is of help to you.
