Coxsackie District Tax List

1788

Transcribed by Sylvia Hasenkopf from original documents located at the
State Library in Albany, 11th Floor, Manuscripts Division. There are two separate tax lists, both for Coxsackie and appear to be separate districts within the Town. The issuing letters demanding that the taxes be levied were both signed at Coxsackie on the 1st of December 1787 and the taxes were to be remitted by the first Tuesday of March 1788.
