The Lincoln County Tax List Project has recently completed the
transcription of Tax Lists dating from 1817 through 1836:
http://www.ncgenweb.us/lincoln/tax/taxrec.htm. A further description
of the project and the files has been offered by Kathy Gunter
Sullivan, CG, project coordinator, at
http://www.ncgenweb.us/lincoln/tax/taxintro.htm
These lists can supply the vital information necessary in tracking
families, especially in the early years of population dispersal. To
assist the researcher, a search engine has been provided. This is
designed as a help but will not find every name occurrence due to the
fact that all spellings reflect the original document.
About thirty documents are in the process of being proofread and
remain to be posted. When completed, the Tax Lists will consist of
approximately 149 documents spanning the period of 1817 through 1840.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Bill Eddleman of Cape
Girardeau, Missouri, Eleanor Lankford of Charlotte, North Carolina,
Jan E. Williams of Columbus, Ohio and Kathy Gunter Sullivan of
Charlotte, North Carolina for donating their time and efforts in
making this project a reality.
