Botetourt County Virginia - Tithable Districts and Tithable
Lists
We have just
completed an exhaustive study of the Botetourt County Virginia tithables covering the decade of the 1770s, a time of rapid
population migration from and within the English colonies following the 1763
collapse of the French colonial holdings in North America. This project
presents transcriptions and images of the original documents for the court
records defining the tithable districts, accurate GIS-based maps of the
district boundaries, as well as the tithable lists themselves. While the COVID
pandemic has interrupted our effort at acquiring a complete set of images from
the Botetourt courthouse, LDS scans are readily available online, and were used
for the transcriptions. All of this information, along with all supporting
source citations, is available for the general public at the website, shown
below.
Tithable
lists are extremely valuable tools for tracing the movement of individuals and
families during this time period, and the geolocation of the tithable district
boundaries provides a geographic context for the individuals identified on
these lists. This project has compiled transcriptions of all of the names
contained within the Botetourt County tithable lists from 1770 through 1777
into a single, searchable spreadsheet-based data set, and virtually eliminated
the effect of spelling variants by assigning a common spelling in a searchable
name field. It has also provided a geographic framework, using GIS-based map
graphics, of the tithable district boundaries. It is our hope that this mapping
effort, by making all data, maps and sources easily available in a web-based
application, renders this important historic data useful, useable and relevant
for family historians.
