From what I have seen, tax lists in VA started around 1782-1783. These must
have been kept somewhere other than the local courthouses, because these
lists in VA typically survived, even in "burned counties." A typed
transcription of the 1783 tax list for Essex Co., VA is available online (I
used it just the other day; it is divided into five tax districts). Prior
to these tax lists in VA, there were tithe lists. I don't know what
survives for Essex County in that regard, but I have tithe lists for
Goochland Co., VA that go back to the 1730s.
