Convis Township Tax Assessment Rolls
|
| Calhoun County Genealogical Society member Norm Walters
unearthed an old ledger book containing Tax Assessment Rolls for the
years 1855 and 1866 for Convis Township. This book was literally
salvaged from the garbage dump. It has provided me with one of my
most interesting and aromatic transcribing projects!
NOTES: The ledger book had a considerable amount of
damage, and some of the entries were water-spotted or faded beyond
legibility. I consulted the 1877 History of Calhoun County and the
Convis Township Cemetery Records for help in interpreting names.
The Section column indicates the section a person was paying
taxes on within Convis Township. The Acres column is the
corresponding number of acres. Note that a person may have owned
land in more than one section. For example, Mrs. E. Baldwin owned
81 acres in section 26, and 80 acres in section 35. Mr. Alex
Gordon owned parcels of 160, 148 and 69 acres in section 18, and parcels
of 40 and 80 acres in section 20. When multiple properties were
owned, they are separated by a semi-colon. |
