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 under 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.

CHARLOTTE CO., VIRGINIA PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LIST:

The first year in which personal property tax lists are available for Virginia counties is 1782. James Reese is in the list for Charlotte Co. every year between 1786 and 1791. Twice he has an additional white tithe, and once he has 2 additional tithes. He has 2 or 3 slaves and between 2 and 4 horses.

Joseph Reese is in the list every year from 1782 until 1799, and then in 1800 his estate is in the list. He is presumably James's brother.

Joseph Reese is always in the district marked "A" in FamilySearch and for many years associated with Thomas Spencer. James Reese is always in the other district marked "B".

LAND in CHARLOTTE CO.:
