Abstracts of property valuations made for State taxes, 1799-1800.

Each county abstract gives for each town or ward the values of the following types of property: real estate; oxen, bulls, cows, "neat cattle", horses (including geldings and stallions), mules, and swine; phaetons or coaches on steel springs, other four wheel pleasure carriages, and two-wheel carriages; clocks and watches; slaves above 12 and under 51 years of age; river sloops of above 30 and below 61 tons and of above 60 tons; and residue of personal estate. (Some of these categories have further subdivisions in the schedules.) Each abstract is signed by the commissioners of taxes for that county. Accompanying the abstracts for some counties are abstracts of the state tax levied in each town. There is also a general abstract of the state tax levied in each county in 1799. The original arrangement of these documents is unknown, and the abstracts for some counties are not present.
