A Guide to the Giles County Tithe Books Collection
This a guide to the Tithe books for Giles County, which cover the time period of 1820-1845. The tithe books were entitled “Tithe Book” or “List of Taxable Property” or “List of Revenue.” Tithes were small taxes or assessments that were collected annually by the Commissioner of the Revenue. Each book lists the names of males chargeable with a property tax. Categories include number of white males above 16 years; blacks above 12 years; blacks above 16 years; horses, mares and colts; free Negroes and mulattoes (not a category in 1820); stud horses; rates of covering by the season; and the sum total of the taxes. The tithe books for 1820, 1821 and 1833 included lists of merchants, taverns, ordinaries (inn serving alcoholic beverages), stores, and houses of private entertainment that received licenses. The 1820 and 1823 tithe books include separate lists of free negroes and mulattoes. The 1845 list of revenue is similar to the tithe books because it contains lists of males chargeable with revenue, but does not list individual tax categories. Records are arranged chronologically for the following years: 1820, 1821, 1823, 1824, 1833, 1840-1842, 1845.
