Haywood & Macon County, NC – James M'Kee, Sheriff - Act to Collect Taxes, 1829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Act to authorise James M'Kee, sheriff of Haywood county, to collect certain taxes therein mentioned Whereas doubts have arisen whether the act erecting the county of Macon out of a part of Haywood, passed A.D. one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, prevents the collection by the sheriff of Haywood of taxes listed in the county of Haywood in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, and payable in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty nine, comprehending as it then did the present county of Macon: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That James M'Kee, sheriff of Haywood, shall and may have authority to collect in the county of Macon all taxes listed in said county, then a part of Haywood, during the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, and payable in one thousand eight hundred and twenty nine, in as full and ample manner as if no act had ever been passed erecting a portion of Haywood into a separate and distinct county.
