Eligible voters in Tennessee paid a tax for the privilege of voting. This poll tax was paid by white males, age 21 or over. Since this was an annual tax, the tax lists serve as censuses. Some were used to “reconstruct” the missing 1790 to 1820 federal censuses. They can help you trace the migration of families from county to county between federal censuses. The Family History Library has copies of the tax lists of most counties to the 1890s. Many of the original tax lists from 1778 to 1835 are available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. | Eligible voters in Tennessee paid a tax for the privilege of voting.
