Captain Rogers' District

List of the Taxable Property in Chatham Co. for the year 1815 as per return of the Justices Appointed to
Receive them.
The Categories, by column are:
1. Persons Names 8. In Retailing
2. No. of White Polls 9. Season of Stud Horses ( how much they are worth)
3. No. of Black Polls 10. No. of Stores (I'm not sure this is stores or stoves?)
4. Improved Lots in Pittsboro 11. Valuation of Town Lots
5. Unimproved Lots in Pittsboro 12. Quantity of Land (acres)
6. Improved Lots in Haywood 13. On What Water Courses
7. Unimproved Lots in Haywood 14. Whom Adjoining
15. Valuation (of all property) `

NOTE: The men who are  listed only, as a 'white poll' are probably, young men, without any land and "possibly", still living at home.
It is my understanding, according to N.C. law, men had to be counted as a 'poll' when they became 21 years of age and exempted at age 50, at this period of time.
However, IF there IS acreage and there is NO poll then, you may be sure that the man is exempted for being over age or physically impaired.
Example, John Baker is at least 50 years old or impaired, physically. And William Bland is at least 21 years old but has no land. So, William "may" be living with Jacob Bland.
