PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LISTS AND BIRTH DATE:

In 1811 Thadeus appears for the first time in the Fauquier Co. Personal Property Tax List; he is a tithable in the household of his widowed mother. A tithable is defined as a free white male over 16 years of age. That Thadeus is listed as a tithable for the first time in 1811 suggests that he was born about 1795. Thadeus is probably in his mother's household in 1812 and in 1813 and he may be there in 1814 and from 1816 to 1818. He has an entry of his own in 1815. He has no property and pays no tax.
