Description and Holding Information
1850, Free illiterate white persons, etc.
A series of tables prepared by First Auditor Robert Johnston on December 31, 1850 in compliance with the November 2, 1850 resolution of the Virginia
Reform Convention. These tables included the number of free persons, and those who are illiterate by county, city and town by districts. There are
also tables showing the number of free white, free "colored," and slave titheables (head tax) for the years 1830, 184- and 1850, as well as the
population of these groups, and the amount and percentage of increase or decrease of each class of population. Finally there are columns showing the
aggregate amount of assessed taxes in 1840 and estimated taxes of 1850, along with the amount and percentage of increase or decrease of the taxes between
those two years. The final page is a recapitulation of this information by districts and by Eastern and Western Virginia. (Digitized from a microfilm
copy of title originally held by the Library of Congress).
