As April 15 nears we think of income taxes.
Speaking of taxes, below is information about Ocracoke Island unpaid property taxes (for the years 1834, 1835, & 1836) that I found in the Feb. 28, 1838 issue of The Weekly Standard (Raleigh, NC).
1 acre of land owned by Nathan Spencer..............tax owed, $7.38
50 acres of land owned by John Williams............tax owed, $4.47
50 acres of land owned by Benjamin Williams....tax owed, $10.20
60 acres of land owned by Abner Howard............tax owed, $9.43
250 acres of land owned by George Williams.....tax owed, $20.54
Oh, how times have changed!
