Selected HENDERSON and MARTIN entries from Albemarle County, Virginia, personal property tax lists, 1782-1806 [For the sake of consistency and clarity, the capitalization and punctuation in most of the column headings differ slightly from what appears on the microfilm. Also, all or nearly all of the lists include more columns than those transcribed here, but none of the persons listed here had any numbers in those other columns. In all cases where a list "A" is cited, no Shadrack Martin or Shadrack Henderson appears on the list "B" for that year.] ---------- 1782 - f[ree] males - slaves - no. cattle - horses &c - amount of tax, L - S - D [i.e., pounds - shillings - pence] Shadrack Martin 1 - 4 1 - 13 - [No Shadrack Henderson] ---------- 1783 - number of free males above 25 - no. slaves above 16 as tithable - no. of slaves under 16 - no. cattle - no. horses mares colts & mules - amount of tax for revenue, L - S - D [i.e., pounds - shillings - pence] - amount of tax to redeem certificates, L - S - D Shadrack Martin 1 - - 2 1 - 12 6 - 12 6 [No Shadrack Henderson] ---------- 1784 - number of free males above 21 - no. slaves tithable - no. of slaves under 16 - no. cattle - no. horses mares colts & mules Shadrack Henderson 1 - - 2 1 [No Shadrack Martin] ---------- 1785 - no. free males over 21 years - no. slaves tithables - no. slaves under 16 - no.

Thus, the son Joseph listed in Shadrack's will was apparently his oldest son, and the second white tithable in Shadrack's household in 1794 may be his second son.] ---------- 1795A - no. free male tythes - no. negroes above 16 - do. between 12 & 16 - horses &c Shadarack Henderson & son 2 - - 1 Joseph Henderson 1 - - 2 [No Shadrack Martin] [Again, Joseph is listed immediately after Shadrack.] ---------- 1796A - no. free male tythes above 16 - no. blacks above 16 - no. blacks between 12 & 16 - horses mules &c Shadarack Henderson & sons 3 - - 2 Joseph Henderson 1 1 - 3 [No Shadrack Martin] [In this list, the entry for Joseph does not appear near Shadrack's entry.

This John Henderson may well *not* be Shadrack's son, given the comparative wealth of this John. See also the list for 1801.] ---------- 1799A - no. of free males above 16 - no. of blacks above 16 - no. of do. between 12 & 16 - horses - amot. of tax Shadrack Henderson & Son 2 - - 2 .24 John Henderson 1 12 1 2 5.96 Joseph Henderson 1 1 - 2 .68 [No Shadrack Martin] [The first two entries appear together, but the entry for Joseph is far removed. Notice that "Sons" has now become "Son" in Shadrack's entry. Joseph was married in January 1799. This is the last list in which I looked for a Joseph Henderson.] ---------- 1800A - no. of males above 16 - no. negroes above 16 - no. do. between 12 & 16 - horses Shadarack Henderson 3 - - 1 & Sons Jno. & Wm [No Shadrack Martin] ---------- 1801A - no. free males above 16 - no. slaves above 16 - no. do. between 12 & 16 - horses - [tax] Shadrack Henderson & Son Wm 2 - - 1 .12 John Henderson Son of Shadr. 1 - - - - [No Shadrack Martin] [The appearance of this John Henderson in 1801, and the number of tithables charged to him, further suggest that the John Henderson of 1798 and 1799 was not Shadrack's son.] ---------- 1802A - no. free males - no. slaves above 16 ys old - no. slaves between 12 & 16 - horses &c - [tax] Shadrack Henderson & Son Wm 2 - - 2 .24 John Henderson Son Shadrack 1 - - - - [No Shadrack Martin] ---------- 1803A - free males above 16 - negroes above 16 - negroes between 12 & 16 - horses &c - [tax] Shadarack Henderson & son Wm. 2 - - 1 .12 John Henderson Son of Shadrack 1 - - 1 .12 [No Shadrack Martin] ---------- 1804 [No Shadrack Henderson or Shadrack Martin] ---------- 1805A - free males above 16 - slaves above 16 - slaves between 12 & 16 - horses mules &c - [tax] Shadrick Henderson 1 - - 2 .24 John Henderson Shs.
