1854 Official Tax Receipt Paid On Slaves
1854-Dated, Grayson County (likely Virginia), Partially-Printed Official Receipt For Taxes Paid On Slaves And Other Property, Choice Very Fine.
This original, Property Tax Receipt for the year 1854 measures 5” x 6.75” printed in black on bright crisp wove period paper. “To the Sheriff of Grayson County, Dr.” A receipt of $18.92 3/4 from Mr. Robert Pugh for both State and County Taxes for “1 Titheable, ...3 Slaves, $932 Property ... and 432 Acres of Land,” and Signed at bottom. Interesting to note the smaller amount of State tax on the Slaves and Titheables versus the County’s take. A scarce Partially-Printed Official Receipt For Taxes Paid On Slaves.
