A List of Persons and Property assessed for Taxation with Bradley County, in the State of Arkansas,
for the Year 1861.
Columns: Persons liable to pay a poll tax. ¼, ½ or part of ¼ section. Quarter of Half of Section. Number of Section. Number of Township. Number of Range. Number of Acres. Number of Hundredths.
Total Value of Land and Improvements.Note: Use of suffixes ‘Senr. and Junr.’ did not necessarily mean ‘father and son’. Terms were frequently used to identify relatives with the same name. Such is the case of the Jas. L. Ashcrafts
on this list; they were first cousins, James Leonard being a few years older than James Leon. Loosely translated the obsolete term ‘neat’ used on this tax list as “ Number of Neat Cattle”, means “How Many Single Bovines”.
