Greetings, fellow-researchers !
 
    Were Indians ever included in Virginia's  personal property tax-payers 
lists ?  If so, in what year did they begin to  be included ?  I'm also 
wondering about part-Indians. Were they included  ?
 
    On the same general subject, I'm also  wondering if Indians (and/or 
part-Indians) were at all considered in  the 1850 Census. If so, how were they 
designated as to race ?  The column  for "color" only shows options for 
white, black, and mulatto (1850 definition =  ??).  And, did it make a 
difference whether one's mother was an Indian  or if one's father was an Indian ?
 
    Thank you very much for your help  !
        Carole
