1884 CORYELL COUNTY, TEXAS TAX ROLL

I feel that there is no necessity for an index to these records as the entries are alphabetized, however they are not indexed within the letters, so if you are looking for someone whose name starts with "A", you must look at all of the "A" entries. The Tax Assessor for Coryell County in 1884 was H. S. Perryman. Spelling is exactly as found in origional records, there is room for interpretation of some letters. If you are searching for an ancestor in these records remember to try all variations of the name, plus phonetic spellings.

Those items taxed in 1884 were land; City and Town lots; Carriages, Buggies, or Wagons; Manufactured items (tools, implements and machinery); Horses and Mules; Cattle; Jacks and Jennets; Sheep; Goats; Hogs; goods, Wares and Merchandise; money on hand; and Miscellaneous Property. I did not transcribe all of these, but the tax rate and abbreviations used are shown here:
Land is shown by Abstract #, Survey and acreage was rendered from $.50 to $10.00 an acre.
Under Other taxable:
Carriages, Buggies and wagons - rendered value varied from $5.00 to $100. shown by "C".

Manufactured items - tools, implements and machinery, not able to identify objects, shown by "m".

Horses and Mules were valued at $10. to $25. each, shown by "H".

Cattle were valued at about $10. a head, shown by "c".

Jacks and Jennets valued about $40. each, shown by "J".

Sheep valued about $1.25 to #2.50 each, shown by "s".

Goats valued about $ .50 to $1.00 each, shown by "g"

Hogs valued about $1.00 to $2.50 each, shown by "h".

Goods, Wares and Merchandise, usally reported by Mercantile Companies or businesses, shown by "M".

Thus, if someone is shown as:


Brown, J. H.      456     L. Brown      30       C,H,c,s,h

J. H. Brown owns 30 acres in the L. Brown survey, abstract #456 and also pays tax on at least one of the following, Carriages, Horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs.

Town lots are written as given, lot and block # and township.

In 1884 all males over voting age were required to pay a poll tax. I have not listed it separately, Mr. Perryman listed first landowners, then those with other taxables, the remainder paid poll only. Women were not allowed to vote, in some cases where property was owned by widows, there would be a notation in pencil, "poll not paid".
