Tax Role Data

APPENDIX F

TAX ROLL DATA FOR THE JONES, EVERLY, JOHNSON, AND

RELATED FAMILIES IN THE PROJECT AREA OR

VICINITY BETWEEN 1850 AND 1910

by

Bob D. Skiles and Susan A. Lebo

This appendix provides data on the real estate and personal property owned by a selected group of families or individuals in the Ray Roberts Lake project area. These families and individuals resided primarily in the central portion of the project area in northern Denton County or southern Cooke County near the communities of Sullivan Settlement, Fairview, Hemming, Bloomfield, and Mt. Springs. Data were collected for the Jones, Johnson, and Everly families. The real estate data recorded in the tax rolls include the number of acres owned by each individual by land survey and the property value is provided. The data on personal property provides information on the number and value of horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, wagons or carriages, and miscellaneous property owned by each individual. Pigs and goats are sometimes enumerated, but often are included in miscellaneous property. Additional miscellaneous property may include money "at interest." The total value of all property is summarized. Complete tax roll data from 1850 to 1910 are provided for the Jones, Johnson, and Everly families. Years in which an individual does not appear on the tax roll and when they moved out of the county are indicated. Because of time and research constraints, sample years are provided for all other individuals or families. Some errors occur in the tax rolls and where these have been identified, corrections and clarifications are provided in brackets [ ]. The tax data are presented by number of acres or number of property-- i.e., number of horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, or wagons, and their value (e.g., 4/320 = 4 horses at a value of $320.00).
