Tithables, 1740 - 1748 - Hyde Co., North Carolina - Taxlists Submitted for use in the USGenWeb Project Archives by Hyde County NCGenWeb (jmack@bbs.carolina.net) Hyde Co., North Carolina Tithables, 1740 - 1748 The definition of tithables or polls was first made in 1715 by the General Assembly which enacted that "all Males not being Slaves in this Government shall be Tythable at the Age of Sixteen Years And All Slaves Male or Female, either Imported or born in the Country shall be tythable at the Age of Twelve Years." In 1749, the law was broadened to say: "all and every White Person, Male, of the Age of Sixteen Years, and upwards, all Negroes, Mulattoes, Mustees Male or Female, and all Persons of Mixt Blood to the Fourth Generation, of the Age of Twelve Years, and upwards, and all white Persons intermarrying with with any Negro, mulatto, or Mustee, or other Persobn of mixt Blood, while to intermarry with no other Person or Persons whatsoever, shall be deemed Taxables..." White females were never subject to tithable or poll taxes. [Reference: North Carolina Research, Genealogy and Local History, Edited by Helen F. M. Leary and Maurice R.
