Stewart
County, Tennessee Tax Lists, 1841-1866
Compiled by Jim Long
Description: This 526-page book contains a transcription of
20 Stewart County, Tennessee tax lists from the years 1841 through 1866. It is a continuation of the first book in
this series, Stewart County, Tennessee
Tax Lists, 1804-1840, and includes the 1857 tax list that has survived but
has never been microfilmed. This volume
contains an every-name index, with over 7,400 names and place names.
During
the period covered by this book, the county tax lists survive for all years
except 1844, 1845, 1854, and the Civil War period 1862-1864. Particularly helpful in this period are the
tax lists for:
·
1850, as a complement to the 1850 census, since the tax list shows the
District in which residents lived in 1850, whereas the census does not
·
1860, as a supplement to the 1860 census, since the 1860 census seems
to have missed quite a few Stewart County families
·
1865, in comparison to the 1861 tax list, as it may help to identify
persons who died during the Civil War period, when the county courts and estate
administrations were suspended
Tax
lists are an excellent alternative to census records, since tax lists were
compiled every year, and listed all white males aged 21-50, all landowners and
all taxpayers. Tax records can often
pinpoint birth years and are an excellent source for proving residency in a
county.
