Currituck County [North Carolina] Eighteenth Century Tax & Militia Records

Description

In this volume, William Doub Bennett, a leading authority on the colonial records of North Carolina, has brought together a comprehensive list of inhabitants of Currituck County from 1700 to 1780 as found in tax and military records buried in the aforementioned colonial records, as well as in British records and in published works.The lists transcribed by Mr. Bennett range from corn lists, quit rent lists, and jurymen lists, to tithables and tax lists, petitions, and militia lists. While all the lists have the virtue of placing a man in Currituck County at a particular time, some also give relationships for taxable-aged sons in a household, distinguish between single and married men, identify the race of the taxable, or give the amount of acreage owned by the colonist.
