No
date is provided, and I am guessing at the time period. The record is in Henry
Cansler’s handwriting, and he was Clerk of County Court from September 1837 to
June 1844. Cansler’s undated compilation groups the companies of Kincaid,
Lenhardt, and Randleman which implies that all three date the same tax year.
References
to Lenhardt’s Company appear in county court minutes of 1839, 1840, 1841, and
1842. This is not a reliable benchmark, however, because every extant tax
district was not mentioned every year.
Some
of these taxpayers were in Aderholdt’s 1836 and Brown’s 1836 tax districts and in
Crouse’s 1837 tax district.
If
a researcher is able to more closely date the list through knowledge of when a
citizen reached taxable age (21 years), moved away, or died, please let me know
so that the list can be more accurately dated for other researchers.
