TEXAS RESEARCH NOTE
One of the most difficult parts of local research involves following
the moves of pioneer families within Texas, particularly between
census years. A little-known appendix to the 1860 Tarrant County tax
schedules, located on microfilm in the Texas State Archives, may be of
value to the researcher. The original handwritten rolls are extremely
difficult to read, not because of the faded condition of the records
but because of the hurried penmanship and poor spelling skills of the
writer. The appendix, "Assessment of Lands, Situated in Other
Counties, for 1860," lists the name of the property owner, a
description of the real estate owned, the county in which it lies, and
the amount of tax due.
