Notes
General:
Capt. Hugh Reese in the Dinwiddie Co. personal property tax lists is probably the person mentioned as a "Capt. in the Revolution" in the letter cited in the profile of Henry Reese (1777-1856). The letter says that the Captain in the Revolution had 4 sons, Ishram[sic], Jordan, James, and Joseph and that Ishram and Joseph were Methodist ministers.

GUARDIAN:

At a court held for Charlotte Co., Virginia on December 6, 1790, Joseph Reese is appointed guardian of Hugh Reese, orphan of Hugh Reese, decd. (Charlotte Co., Virginia "Order Books, v. 7-8 1786-1792", film #30800 at FamilySearch, Order Book No. 8, page 118, image 432/573)

"On the Motion of Joseph Reese he is appointed Guardian of Hugh Reese orphan of Hugh Reese decd he giving Security whereupon he with Henry Madison his Security entered into and acknowledged their bond for that purpose"

The last will and testament of Joseph's father was presented to a court in Dinwiddie Co. on October 18, 1790. Hugh is probably Joseph's younger brother.

This guardianship is mentioned without a date in the Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol 26, No 1, pg 8 (image 62/130 at Ancestry.com).

CHARLOTTE CO., VIRGINIA PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LIST:

The first year in which personal property tax lists are available for Virginia counties is 1782. Joseph Reese is in the list every year from 1782 until 1799, and then in 1800 his estate is in the list. Six times he is referred to as Rev'd Joseph Reese. In the ten years between 1788 and 1797, another white tithe is in his household 7 times (only 1 tithe in 1791, 1794, and 1795). Hugh Reese has an entry of his own for the first time in 1798; the additional white man over 21 in the household in 1796 and 1797 may be Hugh. Joseph Reese is always in the district marked "A" in FamilySearch and for many years associated with Thomas Spencer. James Reese, presumably Joseph's brother, is always in the other district marked "B". In 1798 Hugh is in B.

If Hugh became 21 in 1796, he was born in about 1775.

Hugh Reese is in the personal property tax list from 1798 until 1827. He has 2, 3, or 4 slaves except for the period between 1811 and 1820 when he has none. He has between 2 and 4 horses but occasionally only one. From 1798 until 1822 he lives in District B; in 1823 and later he lives in District A. One time, in 1817, Hugh has 2 white tithes in his household; then, in 1818 and later, Thomas Reese is also in the tax list. Thomas is probably Hugh's son.

Hugh is in the tax list for the last time in 1827. In 1828 Sarah Reese is in the list, and in 1829 Sucey Reese is in the list. Thomas Reese is in the list for the last time in 1828. A natural interpretation is that Hugh died in about 1827 and that Sarah is his widow. She does not appear after 1829. However, Hugh and his wife are in the 1830 census in Charlotte Co. Thomas is not in the 1830 census in Charlotte Co.
