Russell's 1810 census was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the abstracted personal property tax list offers a substitute census for the head of households.

Abstracted from original Personal Property Tax Records in the Library of Virginia.

Russell is one of eighteen Virginia counties for which the 1810 census is lost. In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two "fair copies" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.

According to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: "Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. 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."

The present abstract of Russell's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 "substitute" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.

In the current volume, the data is recorded thus:
Beck, Robert                  1      -      2
Bellama, John                1      -      1
Booker, Richard E.        1      -      -
Bouldin, Green              2      6      5

Column one represents the tithable males (16 and over) in the household; column 2 is the number of slaves over 12; and the final column is the number of horses, mares or mules.

For genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as "exempt", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.

Another valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Roger Ward has abstracted all of the 1815 land tax records, and they are available as well.

The 1810 substitute census list for Russell County contains 1,022 households, 1,110 tithables, both white and free black, and 195 slaves over the age of twelve, and 2,810 horses.

Great quality product!!
Size: 10inch-140
These disposable paper plates are an absolute lifesaver for family barbecues and large dinner parties. The ten-inch size is incredibly spacious, easily holding a full meal with multiple side dishes without anything spilling over the edges. I am seriously impressed by the heavy-duty construction because they stay completely sturdy even when loaded up with heavy, saucy foods. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are truly soak-proof and won't get soggy or bend. With a massive one hundred and forty plates in the pack, it is an amazing bulk value that lasts through several events. Cleanup is an absolute breeze since we can just toss them out, saving me from hours of standing at the kitchen sink. They are perfect for birthdays, picnics, or even just lazy weeknight dinners when I want to skip doing the dishes. Anyone searching for durable, reliable disposable tableware for their next gathering will absolutely love this set.

Sturdy and good quality paper plates
Size: 10inch-140, Size: 10inch-140
These 140 pack paper plates are exactly what I needed for my family party. The plates are Saturday, heavy duty and easy to handle lager portion of food without bending and leaking. I used them during a family gathering and the plates help up the salad and burger throughout serving lunch. The 10 inch size of the plates are just perfect for any occasion to serve enough food on them. Also with 140 plates I have enough to go around for several parties and I feel I still have more than enough. I like to used paper plates as the clean up afterwards is much easier also it will much more cost effective in long term.

Strong and durable.
Size: 10inch-140, Size: 10inch-140
I’m very impressed by these plates. I want to start by saying I use them mostly for my home cooking but these are strong and durable enough to be used at outdoor events and other social gathering. At 10in the plates are big enough to fit the whole meal, and with growing boys it is necessary to feed them full portions for their growing bodies. The design is nice and the plates are thick, there is also a coating on them. I prefer that because I often cook with gravies and sauces and if you want the sauces and juice to remain you need a coated disposable plate. Another positive is that because you can put bigger food portions because of the size, you also need the plates to hold up. These do exactly that. Even with heavy foods the plates remain firm and not flimsy. These are really good paper plates.

The plates are big and sturdy. They could hold 2 slices of pizza easily. These are great for everyday use. The plates are easy to remove from stack. They don’t stick together. The design is the same as shown. The blue and white colors complement each other.
