Personal property tax records are available from 1782 onward. I have not seen them after 1824. 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>.
To simplify the presentation of data I am omitting 1) all tithes (1793-94) and 2) tax paid (1798-1803,1815-16).
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
