Book Description
"This book contains all surviving tax-related lists for Stewart County, Tennessee for the period 1878 through 1888. There is some loss of the original tax lists during this period, but these losses have been somewhat overcome by the survival of delinquent tax lists, lists of tax exonerations, and lists of lands sold for delinquent taxes. Tax records are a great alternative to census, and other traditional genealogical records, as they can add detail to a person's timeline every year, instead of every 10 years. Poll taxes are a great way to document residency and age. During this period, Tennessee required the poll tax to be paid by all men aged 21 through 50 who were resident in the county. The existence of a poll tax, therefore, proves residency and age. Beginning in 1875, tax entries for landowners also denoted the adjacent landowners which can provide helpful clues. Of particular interest in these records are the reasons given for tax exonerations, as they can provide helpful clues"--

Book Description
This 433-page book contains a transcription of 21 Stewart County, Tennessee tax lists from the years 1804 through 1840. It is the first-ever compilation of early tax lists for the county, and includes 4 tax lists that have survived but have never been microfilmed (1806, 1807, 1839 and 1840). The book contains an every-name index, with over 4,000 names and 100 place names. Tax lists are an excellent alternative to census records, since tax lists were compiled every year, and listed all white males aged 21-50, all landowners and all taxpayers. The earliest census available for Stewart County is 1820, but there are 9 tax lists prior to 1820 that have survived in whole or in part. Tax records can often pinpoint birth years and are an excellent source for proving residency in a county.

Book Description
"This book contains all surviving tax-related lists for Stewart County, Tennessee for the period 1867 through 1877. There is significant loss of the original tax lists during this period, but these losses have been largely overcome by the survival of delinquent tax lists, lists of tax exonerations, and lists of lands sold for delinquent taxes. Tax records are a great alternative to census, and other traditional genealogical records, as they can add detail to a person's timeline every year, instead of every 10 years. Poll taxes are a great way to document residency and age. During this period, Tennessee required the poll tax to be paid by all men aged 21 through 50 who were resident in the county. The existence of a poll tax, therefore, proves residency and age. Beginning in 1875, tax entries for landowners also denoted the adjacent landowners which can provide helpful clues. Of particular interest in these records are the reasons given for tax exonerations, as they can provide helpful clues ('gone to Texas', 'over age', 'dead and no effects', 'young virtuous & pretty wife and that's all'). Note that dogs were taxed in 1875 and 1876, at a rate of $5.00 each for un-spayed females and $1.00 for all others. The state had passed a law in support of livestock owners"--

Book Description
The tax lists were scrupulously copied from microfilm, but in many cases the handwriting was so poor, so blurred or so dim that achieving accuracy was difficult. When in doubt, the researcher should always refer to the microfilm. The marriage records are arranged by grooms name with a brides index. All entries in the original documents were hand written. Names were transcribed as they were spelled in the documents.
