Pennsylvania: The United States Direct Tax of 1798. |
|
The first direct federal tax was levied in 1798, on real property and slaves, with several schedules for the different types of property taxed. Particular List A covered dwellings and outbuildings valued greater than $100 but covering two acres or less, and List B covered lands, lots, and buildings not covered by List A; they show the name of the occupant, the name of the owner, and a description of the property taxed. |
|
Only a few of the 1798 Direct Tax lists have survived, and the National Archives has only the lists from Pennsylvania, and, they are not indexed. |
|
The 1798 lists for Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Vermont are available at the state Historical Societies (Tennessee at the Tennessee State Archives). |
|
Recently saw indexes to the 1798 lists for two Pennsylvania counties: |
|

2. Westmoreland County, Index to the 1798 Direct Tax, by G. J. Gregord, 1987, no McAninch/McIninch/McNinch, nothing close (SLC 974.881 R42g). |
