Baltimore Hundred Tax Roll Sample 1809

Sample of microfilmed tax rolls of Baltimore Hundred 1809 taken at Delaware Archives in Dover. They tax all kinds of things plus there was a personal tax depending on age. Young men paid $200. Older men paid $134. I guess really old men paid nothing since Reuben is not taxed and he is about 47. The break between old and young must be in the 30-35 year range since Kendle is taxed as an older man and he would have been about 35 in 1809
