Northampton's 1810 census was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the abstracted personal property tax list offers a substitute census for the head of households.

Abstracted from original Personal Property Tax Records in the Library of Virginia.

Northampton is one of eighteen Virginia counties for which the 1810 census is lost. In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two "fair copies" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.

According to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: "Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as "free" or "FN."

The present abstract of Northampton's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 "substitute" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.

In the current volume, the data is recorded thus:
Bruce, James 1/-      43      29

Column one represents two values: the number to the left of the slash represents the householder named in the document; a "1" indicates he is tithable; a hyphen marks him or her as exempt from the tithe. The number to the right of the slash in column one represents the number of additional tithable males 16 years and over in the household; column 2 is the number of slaves over 12; and the final column is the number of horses, mares or mules.

For genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as "exempt", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.

Another valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Roger Ward has abstracted all of the 1815 land tax records, and they are available as well.

The 1810 substitute census list for Northampton County contains 936 households, 1,000 tithables, both white and free black, 2,001 slaves over the age of twelve, and 1,716 horses.

Great Dog Toy!

This soccer ball gets even my LAZY dog moving! It's so fun for them to play with and tug with. Great product, will need to keep re-buying it whenever it gets a hole in it from the rough wear and tear of my pups! :)

Durable and great value
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
Best thing we ever bought our Frenchie. It keeps him busy and he gets a great workout in. The tabs make it easier and for me to grab and throw for him. They also allow him to grab them and run with the ball. Only thing he hasn't destroys. Very durable and easy to inflate with enclosed pump.

Exactly What I Needed For My GSD Puppy!
Style: Tuggi Hide, Style: Tuggi Hide
Pros: Super durable and sturdy – holds up well to tugging Stretchy bungee handle with comfortable padding Soft material that's gentle on puppy teeth Treat pocket encourages drive and engagement Great for interactive training and building play drive Fun blue color and perfect size for small to medium dogs Excellent for bite interruption and redirection Cons: Treat pocket can be tricky to find at first The Velcro closure could be longer or more secure Not meant to be left out – supervision required Exactly What I Needed to Build Drive in My GSD Puppy! This Coachi Tuggi Hide is exactly what I was searching for to help build drive in my little German Shepherd pup. The fact that I can tuck treats into the pocket and use it for a tug game? Genius. Let’s talk about that stretchy bungee handle – wow. It adds just the right amount of give and makes it easier on both of us during play. Plus, the padded handle is honestly one of my favorite features. I can play longer without discomfort, and the padding is legit comfortable. It’s super sturdy and ridiculously durable. I know I said “durable” like three times, but seriously—it deserves it. It’s also super soft, which is great for a teething puppy. The treat pocket is a great idea, though I will say it took me a minute to find it at first. Once I did, I noticed the handle actually runs deep into the toy. That’s great for strength, but do make sure you get all the treats out before storing. I also love the blue color, and the size is perfect for tugging and engaging a puppy. One small design tweak I’d suggest? Making the treat pocket a little longer or adjusting that hook-and-loop closure—it’s a bit short for how deep the pocket goes. That said, this toy is a total win. It’s a training tool, not a chew toy, so I don’t leave it out unsupervised. When we use it together, it’s pure gold. My puppy loves it, I love it, and our training sessions are so much more fun now.
