I've noticed that in addtion to a tax on tithables some counties, like Augusta, levied a tax on every head of cattle driven into/through the county and a tax on every horse brought into the county.

Was this a universal practice? Is there a source which consolidates these forms of taxation, hopefully along with the amount of the tax?
