Tithables 1790 ~ Pendleton County, West
Virginia
This list was taken by James Dyer and
John Poage. Dyer's district was the South Fork and the lower
half of the South Branch. Poage had the remainder of the county.
Facts as to residence, etc., are given, where known, in the case
of names not appearing in Part II. An isolated figure following
a name refers to the number of tithables in the household, and
where names in brackets follow the figure, these are the
persons-other than the head of the family-who are believed to be
the tithables in question. Persons known to have lived in the
portion of the county which is now a part of Highland are marked
"Hid." Other abbreviations are explained in Part II. A tithable
was any male over the age of 16, or any widow who was the head
of a family. Tithables explanation at bottom.

Tithables:
In seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Virginia, the term “tithable”
referred to a person who paid (or for whom someone else paid)
one of the taxes imposed by the General Assembly for the support
of civil government in the colony. In colonial Virginia, a poll
tax or capitation tax was assessed on free white males, African
American slaves, and Native American servants (both male and
female), all age sixteen or older. Owners and masters paid the
taxes levied on their slaves and servants. Few tithable lists
are extant. The Library of Virginia holds full or partial lists
for about three dozen counties. A detailed guide to manuscript,
microfilmed, and printed tithables is available in the Archives
Research Room. See also the VA-NOTES entries on Colonial Taxes
and on Tithables for a list of documents in the archival records
in the Library of Virginia containing the names of people who
paid the tax on tithables.
Tithable lists do not enumerate anyone under the age of sixteen
or any adult white woman (unless she was the head of household).
Laws published in Hening’s Statutes at Large may assist the
researcher in understanding who was considered tithable and how
tithable lists were taken. In an attempt to stop fraud
concerning the “yearly importation of people into the collonie,”
an act was passed in the House of Burgesses in 1649 requiring
that all male servants imported into Virginia (“of what age
soever”) be placed on the tithable lists. Natives of the colony
and those imported free who were under the age of sixteen were
exempt. (William W. Hening, ed. The Statutes at Large: Being a
Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, from the First Session
of the Legislature, in the Year 1619…[1809–1823], 1:361–362.)
