Tax
Assessment Rolls
1850 thru 1854, 1860, 1863, 1864, 1876 & 1877
The
following tax lists were transcribed from the original tax rolls
as preserved on microfilm roll #819 of the Tarrant Co. Tax
Records (1850 Anderson through 1872 Martin) obtained by
interlibrary loan form the Texas State Library at Austin.
Additional information not included in these lists includes the
amount and value of land owned by the tax payer, the original
patentee, and the water source for that land; the number of
slaves, horses, cattle, sheep owned; the value of other property
owned; and poll tax.
Poll
tax was collected on men aged 21 to 50.
While
every effort was made to ensure accurate transcription of the
above names, there is always the possibility of
misinterpretation of the handwriting. If there is a question
about a name, it is recommended that the original source be
consulted for verification.

These two abstracts
were first published in Footprints, the quarterly publication of

is named on one but neither gives the source of the information
or where it was found.
