Contents of Files sun001.txt - (Part 1) Background history, explantion of tithes,etc. Page #8: THE TITHES The list of tithes of Lunenburg County for the earlier years are almost a unique inheritance, as such records in many of the counties have not survived. Lists for 1748, 1749, 1750, 1751, 1752, 1764, 1769, 1772, 1773, 1774, 1775, 1776 and 1783 are embraced herein. Lunenburg County originally embraced all of the territory from Brunswick County westward to the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains and from the North Carolina line, northward to the divide beween the water of the James and Roanoke rivers. The first loss of territory from the original area, occurred in February, 1752, when Halifax County was created. It is therefore the fact that the lists of tithes for 1748, 1749, 1750 and 1751, embraced the tax paying population of that great section, which now constitutes the following counties: Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Halifa, Charlotte, Pittsylavania, Henry, Patrick, Franklin, practically all of Bedford, most of Campbell and a considerable part of Appomattox. It is a fortunate circumstance that all lists for the early years, 1748,1749 and 1750 are available. They present the earliest complete record, or census, known of the taxable residents of teh far-flund domain of the ancient county,embracing as it diden then, what is now the whole or the greater part of ten counties. ............. ...... ..... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 18:34:25 +0000 From: "Frank H.

Howver I respect your choice of not listing the "living"... would that others excerise such judgement.

Searching for Burnett(e) family that settled in the Gwinnett and Walton county area of Georgia. I am very interested in information on Samuel Burnett. The only info I have is that his middle name could be Pleman and in 1866 he married Milicent Virginia Overton, dau of Abijah and Elizabeth (Rhodes) Overton from Conyers, GA. Samuel and Milicent had a son Oscar Lee (d. 10/29/38) who married Louella Peters (d. 4/1/48), dau of James and Lou Jane Peters. Oscar and Milicent are buried in Bay Creek Cemetery in Loganville, GA. Their son, Grover William Burnette, was my father-in-law. Any information or leads would be greatly appreicated!
