Surry County [Virginia] Tithables, 1668-1703

By Edgar MacDonald

Long buried in court orders, deeds, and wills, these tithables (taxables) lists were rescued from oblivion by the esteemed Virginia genealogists Edgar MacDonald and the late Richard Slatten, who transcribed and published the various lists in a series of articles that first appeared in the "Magazine of Virginia Genealogy." We have reprinted the installments in their original sequence and have added a comprehensive name index to the entire series--an index bordering on 20,000 entries. The tithables (taxables) lists usually give the name of the assessor or compiler, his parish, date compiled, name of the individual taxpayers, and a numerical representation of the assessment. The continuity of the Surry lists over a 35-year span allows the researcher to make a study of new arrivals, migrations, or deaths of colonial Surry countians.
