The author has abstracted the information for free African-Americans in Clarke County City, Virginia and has arranged them into seven categories:
Year;
last name;
first name;
age;
occupation [only given infrequently on the rolls];
property description & value;
memo [oftentimes describing the exact location of the taxpayer or his former owners if freed in recent decades].

This volume is provided in three separate arrangements to facilitate genealogical research by African-American families; 1) chronologically by year; 2) sorted by last name of the individual; and 3) sorted by first name.

Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records provide a wealth of information regarding the social status of an individual. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as "free" or "FN." By the 1850s, the personal property tax records contained detailed descriptions of personal property owned.

The most frequent use of personal property tax records is for the direct information recorded: name of the property owner, type and quantity of property owned, and amount of tax paid. Comparative analysis of personal property tax records from year to year may lead to conclusions about social, economic, and agricultural history, as well as the status of certain individuals or groups of property owners within a locality.

For genealogical researchers, personal property tax records may provide important data. Individuals with the same names in a locality may be distinguished by a junior or senior, or residence (often listed by street). Parentage may be expressly or implicitly stated by either the name or number of male tithables between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one in the household of the taxpayer. The names of women appear occasionally when owning property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner. By studying the lists from year to year, researchers may trace an ancestor to determine the date of departure from a locality, or possibly the year of death. The name of a taxpayer will continue on the tax list, noted as "deceased" or "estate," until the estate is settled.

Natural and Soft
Fun colorful patterns that are great for boys and girls and are soft to the touch. They are thin when dry which is great, but they still hold a lot. They have worked great well overnight with zero leaks and the baby stays dry. Fit is snug but not too tight and they move well with baby! Overall very happy with the "Babyganics, Absorbent, Breathable, Triple Dry Protection Diapers".

Still pretty good
We had their “old version” - different pattern and also apparently a different material? Because these don’t seem as good quality. But they are still more absorbent than most

Worth it! These are the only diapers that don't turn my son's skin red!
I am not someone who had to have an organic diaper. I came to these because my son has super sensitive skin and nothing else was working for him. These have been great and my baby has been happier than ever. There is no more redness or rashes anymore. These diapers also fit well. He can move freely in them without sagging. They are absorbent and don't leak. They fit just right and are snug. These have prevented most blowouts but they still happen out the back occasionally. I like that these are soft compared to some other organic diapers we have tried. They are pricey but it was these or cloth diapers because my baby was miserable. They are a keeper for us! I also love and recommend their sunblock!

The best!
This lotion will change your life. It smells SO good and leaves your skin incredibly soft. Super hydrating. It is great for after tanning. It will rehydrate your skin after that. I don’t know if it really locks in the color, or if that is just a high quality tan bed that I use. Either way- It’s a gem!
