Apparently widows did pay poll tax and inheritance taxes. Rachael Thrift
Gullatt widow of John Gullatt (died Feb/Mar 1784 Fairfax Co.) is listed in the
late 1780s titheables with eight whites. The Inventory of John's Estate was
ordered by the Fairfax County Apr Court of 1784. In Apr 1784 records of Byan
Fairfax (former Lord Fairfax, John Gullatt was his and George Washington's
blacksmith) show Rachel Gullatt, widow of John Gullatt, writing to him for money "As
she is distressed for leavies" (inheritance taxes?) and money to buy corn.
