Beaufort County, NC
Pages 16 - 30
The following list is taken from Treasurer & Comptroller Records, Box I, located at NCDAH in
Raleigh, NC. Various publications have undertaken the task of transcribing the1755 List of
Taxables for Beaufort County. Reseachers are reminded that white males (males only) became
taxables at age 16. Free blacks, mulattoes and slaves became taxables at age 12, both male and
female. While some free blacks and mulattoes are identified and are listed under neither the white
nor black taxables but under "total".
