This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Roger Kammerer ======================================================================== A List of the Taxables, Pitt County, North Carolina for the year 1763 Transcribed By Roger Kammerer The 1763 tax enumerators listed the white polls and black polls in two separate documents. Follows is a transcript of the white polls list in the North Carolina Archives, # ___________; the list of black polls could not be located. The extant list shows totals of blacks and whites on its last page. Edward Salter, Junior Clerk of Court, testified to the authenticity of the list, and probably acted as scribe for this bound copy as submitted to the office of the Secretary of State in 1763. The handwriting is clear and legible, leaving only blobs or aged paper to cause the transcriber much difficulty. Typesetting conventions: Punctuation has been added for readability. This transcription uses commas to separate the surname of the tax payer, and semi-colons to separate the other names on the same line. No commas have been used to offset titles such as Jr., Sr., or Constable (spelled Counstable). Spelling has been retained as in the original. Questionable letters or words are indicated with editorial comments in brackets.
