Rensselaer County Tax Lists |
Strictly speaking, these are Albany County tax lists, because they date
from 1779, 12 years before Rensselaer County was created from Albany County, in 1791.
Leslie Potter kindly transcribed the two 1779
lists for districts which would later be part of Rensselaer County. The original source
for these is the Lansing Papers, Call Number KT 13324, GY Lansing Papers Box 1, at the
New York State Library in Albany.
If you would like to transcribe other Rensselaer County (or future Rensselaer County) tax lists from other years and contribute them to this site, they would be very welcome! You may e-mail them in plain text right in the body of an e-mail message to me, Lin Van Buren.
