Description

Free Blacks on the Frederick County, Virginia Personal Property Tax Lists, 1793-1862The author has abstracted the information for free African Americans in Frederick County, Virginia and has arranged them into nine categories: Year; last name; first name; age; occupation [only given infrequently on the rolls]; spouse [infrequent]; property description & value; district in which taxpayer resided; notes [oftentimes describing the exact location of the taxpayer or his former owners if freed in recent decades]. This volume is provided in

The author has abstracted the information for free African-Americans in Frederick County, Virginia and has arranged them into nine categories:
Year;
last name;
first name;
age;
occupation [only given infrequently on the rolls];
spouse [infrequent];
property description & value;
district in which taxpayer resided;
notes [oftentimes describing the exact location of the taxpayer or his former owners if freed in recent decades].

This volume is provided in three separate arrangements to facilitate genealogical research by African-American families; 1) chronologically by year; 2) sorted by last name of the individual; and 3) sorted by first name.

A similar volume is in preparation for the town of Winchester, which was taxed separately from Frederick County.

Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records provide a wealth of information regarding the social status of an individual. 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." By the 1850s, the personal property tax records contained detailed descriptions of personal property owned.

The most frequent use of personal property tax records is for the direct information recorded: name of the property owner, type and quantity of property owned, and amount of tax paid. Comparative analysis of personal property tax records from year to year may lead to conclusions about social, economic, and agricultural history, as well as the status of certain individuals or groups of property owners within a locality.

For genealogical researchers, personal property tax records may provide important data. Individuals with the same names in a locality may be distinguished by a junior or senior, residence in different tax districts, or geographical location. Parentage may be expressly or implicitly stated by either the name or number of male tithables between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one in the household of the taxpayer. The names of women appear occasionally when owning property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner. By studying the lists from year to year, researchers may trace an ancestor to determine the date of departure from a locality, or possibly the year of death. The name of a taxpayer will continue on the tax list, noted as "deceased" or "estate," until the estate is settled.

Good cooler pack
Color: Clear Blue 4 PK, Size: 4 Pack
I have used this item a few times now and it keep cool for a good few hours. It is thin enough to fit into lunch boxes and keeps the food cold. Very easy to clean. It feels sturdy and won't crack if you drop it.

Great prize for a pack of four ice packs! Love the color
Super set of ice packs, these come in a four piece set and I got purple ones because I wanted to match the lunchbox. I got them to go in. They are a nice size, thick enough that you can put several in your icebox lunch pack or Lay them together if you need a longer time for being cooled. They fit in the freezer real well because they are skinny. They work just fine in my lunchbox and I can lay two of them on the side of my bento box packs inside and one on the bottom and one on the top. Great price for four. They’re very heavy duty and have a purple gel inside. I give them an A+

Perfect for packed lunches
Color: Multi (4 Pack), Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I use these in both my lunch bag for work and my daughter’s lunchbox for daycare. I like the xl slim packs because they fit perfectly in a rectangular lunchbox. They keep food cold throughout the whole day, without being bulky and taking up too much room.

Great all-around golf ball—soft feel, good distance, and super reliable
Color: Green, Size: One Dozen
Summary: The Callaway Supersoft has become my go-to golf ball. It performs well off the tee and around the greens, and I’ve had zero durability issues. How I use it: Regular play on different course types (dry courses out west and more lush courses in the southeast). Pros: Soft feel that seems to help with both distance and short game Consistent, reliable performance Durable—never had one fall apart Color options are great (green worked well in dry conditions, orange better in thicker grass) Cons: Performance improvements might be subtle depending on your game (could be partially feel/confidence) What I wish I knew: The color actually matters more than you’d think depending on course conditions—visibility can make a big difference. Green is easier to see in more arid environments - think Colorado or Arizona, while orange is more preferred for lush environments like Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head. Fellow golfers will call you "old man" if you use orange for higher visibility. Verdict: A dependable, high-value golf ball that works well for a wide range of players. I keep coming back to these—and the only reason I lose them is my own game, not the ball.

Perfect Golf Balls for My Son’s First Season Playing Golf
Color: White, Size: One Dozen
I bought the Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls for my son’s birthday after he recently started getting into golf, and they were a perfect choice. He was excited to try a well-known golf brand, and these balls have really helped build his confidence on the course. The balls feel soft off the clubface and seem very forgiving for a beginner. My son noticed better distance and straighter shots compared to some cheaper practice balls he had been using. He also likes how easy they are to spot on the course and how durable they’ve been through multiple rounds. As someone newer to golf, he appreciated that these balls perform well without being overly expensive. They make a great gift for beginners or casual golfers who want quality equipment while learning the game. Definitely a solid purchase and a birthday gift he genuinely enjoyed.
