LAND IN BEDFORD CO., VIRGINIA:

On September 12, 1781 Robert Cowan for himself and as lawful attorney for William Parker sells to Edmond Logwood of Powhatan Co. for £50 ("Fifty Sterling") a tract of 800 acres in Bedford Co. on the south side of Goose Creek and on both sides of Enoch's Creek. (Bedford Co. Deed Records 7/89) On the same date Robert Cowan and Elizabeth, his wife, of Bedford Co. sell to Edmund Logwood of Powhatan Co. for £1200 specie a tract of 1800 acres by estimation in Bedford Co. on the north side of Goose Creek. (7/205)

On January 14, 1794 Edmund Logwood of Powhatan Co. appoints Christopher Clark of Bedford Co. as his attorney to collect rents from Callohill Mennis and if the rent is not paid to take appropriate measures. (9/339)

On October 18, 1798 Edmund Logwood of Powhatan Co. sells to Richard Hobson of Bedford Co for £742 4/5 a tract of 668 acres on both sides of Wolf Creek, a north branch of Gooch Creek. (11/80) On June 20, 1799 two justices of Powhatan Co. report that they have examined Mary Logwood, Edmund's wife, alone, in the absence of her husband, and that she has relinquished her dower rights. (11/81)

On several occasions Thomas Logwood of Bedford Co. and Edmund Lockett of Chesterfield Co., executors of the last will and testament of Edmund Logwood, dec'd, of Powhatan Co. sell land in Bedford Co. in accordance with instructions in the will. In the earlier deeds they are joined by Mary Logwood, widow and relict of Edmund Logwood, dec'd. In one deed dated October 26, 1801 the land being sold is a tract of 1132 acres on the north side of Goose Creek and on the waters of Wolf Creek, being the balance of a tract of 1800 acres purchased from Robert Cowan, of which the decedent sold 668 acres in his lifetime. The sales take place over a substantial period of time. Another deed is dated May 23, 1814. (Bedford Co. Deed Records 11/459, 11/464, 12/306, 13/556, 14/141, 14/341, 14/394)

Personal property tax records are available from 1782 onward. Categories in the tax lists vary significantly from year to year, which complicates comparison and presentation of data.

Between 1782 and 1790 the first column in the tax list is labelled 'white males over 21'. After 1803 the first column is 'white males over 16'. Between 1791 and 1802 the term 'white tithe' is used. I feel confident that it refers to white males over 16. See the following article concerning the concept of 'tithe' and 'tithable':

<http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/rn17_tithables.htm>.

The columns below are
<pre>
1) Wo21 -- White males over 21
2) Wo16 -- White males over 16/white tithes
3) Wint -- White males above 16 and under 21
4) Bo16 -- Blacks over 16
5) Bu16 -- Blacks under 16
6) Bint -- Blacks over 12 and under 16 but in 1815 over 9 and under 12
7) Bo12 -- Blacks over 12
8) Btot -- Total blacks
9) Hors -- Horses, mares, colts, mules
10) Catl --- Cattle

CHESTERFIELD CO. TAX RECORDS:

Land tax records are available from 1791 onward. I have not seen the records for 1811 and later. From 1791 through 1798 Edmund Logwood owns one town lot. 1799 and 1800 are illegible. From 1801 through 1810 his estate is the owner of the town lot. Personal property tax records are available from 1786 onward, but Edmund Logwood never appears there.
