In 1860 Burwell Logwood (95, Va) is living in Bedford Co. in the household of his son Robert R. Logwood.
LAND:
On April 22, 1799 Thomas Logwood of Bedford Co. sells to Burwell Logwood of the same place for 5 shillings a tract of 414 acres, more or less, in Bedford Co. on the north forks of Otter River. (Bedford Co. Deed Records 11/33)
On April 22, 1805 Burwell Logwood and William Karr of Bedford Co. sell to Joseph Wilkerson of the same place for £60 a tract of 70 acres, more or less, in Bedford Co. on the north fork of Otter River. It begins on the north fork of the north fork of Otter River near Wilkerson's fence in Irvine's line. Otter River is part of the boundary. (11/1221)
On January 16, 1819 Stephen Hubbard and Zachariah Wheat of Bedford Co. sell to Burwell Logwood of the same place for $200 a tract of 60 acres, more or less, in Bedford Co. on the west prong of Otter River. It begins at Burwell Logwood's corner and runs along Wilkerson's line. (16/117)
BEDFORD CO. TAX RECORDS:
Land tax records are available from 1782 onward. Burwell Logwood is taxed from 1799 until 1804 on the 414 acres that his father gave him. It is worth $347.76 or $.84/acre. After he sells 60 acres to Joseph Wilkerson, he is taxed on 354 acres worth $297.36 until 1819. That tract is on the north fork of Otter River 13 miles north of the courthouse. In 1820 the valuation procedure changes and the 354 acre tract becomes worth $7.10/acre or $2513.40. After 1820 Burwell is also taxed on a 40 acre tract on Union Mountain worth $2/acre or $80, and in 1824 the 354 acre tract is reduced in size to 316. Both tracts are said to be 14 miles north of the courthouse. I have not seen the land tax records after 1826.
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
