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.

Jane,
A published obit is public knowledge. I think it is very nice of you to
post it, and I can't see that it would offend anyone.

I, for one appreciate the information... and see no fault in posting the
"living" with regard to "Obits". Howver I respect your choice of not
listing the "living"... would that others excerise such judgement. Don't
believe his a relative of mine, but shall get a copy of the "Roanoke Times"
to ascertain.

Greetings,
"The Southside Virginian" spring 1998 Vol. XVI No. 2 issue, has
a list of names of VA. Confederate prisoners of war who died in New York.
It seems that the prisoners were buried in Woodlawn Cemetery Elmira, New York
after being killed in a train wreck. The names were listed, Company in which
they served, Regiment, and the date of death.

Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? 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!
Priscilla Dunn Burnette
