July 1740 - Tax List: Tithables in Perquimans County for the Year 1740: (Hendricks family members living east of Perquimans River, i.e., those living East of Perquimans River, West of Little River, south of Great Dismal Swamp, north of Albemarle Sound. Numbers = those White Males of age 16 and older plus all Negroes and Indians regardless of age or sex.

Shortly after the death of the patriarch Thomas Hendricks, here is an enumeration of his family, excepting eldest or next eldest Daniel Hendricks of Bertie Precinct, by a reliable tax listing. The Widow Elizabeth was charged for her two youngest sons (of age 16 but not of age 21 -- younger they were not taxable; older they were individually identified). By other records, Elizabeth’s youngest sons were Isaac, age c20, and Thomas, age c17. The order of the older sons was Solomon (who had no sons, but three daughters); Abraham (a batchelor according to the Quakers), i.e., no marriages, but apparently had a young man of 16-21 years living with him, possibly an apprentice, for a brother would have been so identified: Job (one son Thomas, not yet 10 in 1740), and Jeremiah (one son George, not yet 10 in 1740). Until the early 1760s, this accounts for all Hendricks in Little River records.
