Orange's 1810 census was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the abstracted personal property tax list offers a substitute census for the head of households.

Abstracted from original Personal Property Tax Records in the Library of Virginia.

Orange is one of eighteen Virginia counties for which the 1810 census is lost. In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two "fair copies" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.

According to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: "Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as "free" or "FN."

The present abstract of Orange's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 "substitute" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.

In the current volume, the data is recorded thus:
Beck, Robert                  1      -      2
Bellama, John                1      -      1
Booker, Richard E.        1      -      -
Bouldin, Green              2      6      5

Column one represents the tithable males (16 and over) in the household; column 2 is the number of slaves over 12; and the final column is the number of horses, mares or mules.

For genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as "exempt", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.

Another valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Roger Ward has abstracted all of the 1815 land tax records, and they are available as well.

The 1810 substitute census list for Orange County contains 1,097 households, 1,253 tithables, both white and free black, 3,171 slaves over the age of twelve, and 3,238 horses.

Overpriced for a cheaply made shirt. The hems are glued down, not sewn.
Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large
I'm not sure how well this shirt is going to hold up, but I'll give them it's lightweight and cool! LOL There's almost nothing to it, it's so light. Mrs Aloha Friday is really crafty, but doesn't do much sewing. It's like she made this shirt with those tapes that you use to hold a hem temporarily, with an iron. LOL She's now got the idea she can make me shirts herself by just gluing them together! ;o) Neither of us is sure how well this will hold up to multiple washes. I'll edit my review if it falls apart. I think the price is nuts for what you get, at $27 as of this writing. There are literally holes in the shirt! I'd feel better recommending it at around $10. If you need something lightweight, yet still an actual shirt, here ya go. The problem is, I'll need to wear an undershirt under this or I'll just sweat right through it in the heat, and it will show the texture of everything it rests against, like the hairs on my chest. Or worse, they'll poke through the holes! Gah!! LOL So sorry for that imagery. I got the Grey/Black square.

Esabel.C Mens Mesh Polo Shirt Moisture Wicking Short Sleeve
Color: Lightblue Rhombus, Size: Large
This is the Esabel.C Mens Golf Polo Shirt. It's moisture wicking works out great. I wear it quite often golfing. Very comfortable and light weight. The color I got was the Lightblue Rhombus. They have 6 different ones to choose from. And the price is not bad either. As far as the size goes, I went by their chart, which was large, and it fits very well. I've had no problems with it. Like I said, I wear it very often.

One of my favorite golf shirts
Color: Lightblue Four Dots, Size: Large
I ordered this golf shirt and it's becoming one of my favorites. I'm a medium build 6'3", 42" chest and the large fits me very well with plenty of room for movement but a nice trim look. The lightweight material is soft and breathable, with a small bit of stretch. It's easy to care for with machine wash and dry, and comes out wrinkle-free. This shirt is very well made and is a good value - I highly recommend it.
