This is the Northampton County Personal Property Tax List for 1910. The original and the microfilm copy in the Library of Virginia are of poor quality because the data was recorded in pencil, which has faded badly. Many numbers and values are either faint or altogether unreadable, rendering the summation of columns difficult. The Personal Property Tax List for 1910 is composed of many columns of figures in a convenient table format. Column headings include: Name of Person Assessed with Taxes & Residence; Male 21 @ 1.50; Horse #/Value; Cattle #/Value; Sheep #/Value; Hogs #/Value; Carriages, Autos #/Value; Farm Equipment Value; Watches #/Value; Clocks #/Value; H. H. and Kitchen Furniture Value; Boats & Watercraft #/Value; Shotguns, Rifles #/Value; Other Personal Property Value; State Tax; and County District Levy. Due to lack of space, the following totals are listed at the bottom of each page in footnote form: Musical Instruments Number [#] and Value, Mechanical Tools Value, Books Value, Ships, Tugs & Barges Number [#] and Value, Stock of Incorporated Co. Value and Gold Value. Other column totals are listed in an appendix. A full-name index completes this work.
