Hello Everyone, Were young, single widows, who were heads of households charged a tithe or poll tax (not the property/land tax) in the 1700s in Virginia? I seem to remember that they were exempt. On another list a researcher said that in Maryland, in the 1770s at least, they were counted and taxed just like a male head of household.
