Historical/biog note:
Laws were enacted by the United States government in July-August 1813 for the purpose of raising revenue needed to finance military operations during the War of 1812. One of these laws provided for direct tax based on assessed value of real property holdings.
Review:
This series of documents was created by officials from nine of the twenty-eight collection districts in New York State. Some are lists of property owned by the residents of that county and others are lists of properties owned by non-residents of the district. They typically include the names of occupants, names of owners, valuation of property and taxation amounts. Taxes were assessed to occupants or owners of the property as of February 1, 1814. Several documents are signed by the principal assessor of the district and were likely prepared by the assistant assessor, who also signed the document.
