1855 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX FOR JO DAVIESS COUNTY

A learned genealogist once suggested to me to use the Personal Property Taxes to search for an ancestor. These list not only those who own real property, but the renter who only had a horse or some farm equipment. These lists were found in the back of each Township's Real Property Tax Book. Woodland Township Tax Book was not found, so the 1856 taxes were substituted. These books are now located in the Galena History Room at the Galena Public Library.
