Notes
General:
BEDFORD CO., VIRGINIA TAX RECORDS:

Personal property tax records are available from 1782 onward. Rhoda Lockett appears twice before her marriage to Joseph Wilkerson. 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

DEATH:

Rhoda is not mentioned in the will of her husband signed September 20, 1827. One reasonable deduction is that she died before that date. However

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/t/Barbara-J-Hathaway-VA/GENE2-0005.html

says that she was born February 1, 1768 and died September 20, 1828. There is no evidence as to the source of these dates. It is possible that Joseph Wilkerson omitted her from his will because she was in poor health and he anticipated that she would die soon.
