1861 Partial Tax List
Contributed by Sharon Ashcraft
(Partial. Several entries were cropped off the bottom on several copies of the original records.)
A List of Persons and Property
assessed for Taxation with Bradley County, in the State of Arkansas, for
the Year 1861.
Columns: Persons liable to pay a poll tax. ¼, ½ or part of ¼ section. Quarter of Half of Section. Number of Section. Number of Township. Number of Range. Number of Acres. Number of Hundredths.
Total Value of Land and Improvements. Note: Use of suffixes ‘Senr. and Junr.’ did not necessarily mean ‘father and son’. Terms were frequently used to identify relatives with the same name. Such is the case of the Jas. L. Ashcrafts on this list; they were first cousins, James Leonard being a few years older than James Leon. Loosely translated the obsolete term ‘neat’ used on this tax list as “ Number of Neat Cattle”, means “How Many Single Bovines”.
