King William's 1810 census was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the abstracted personal property tax list offers a substitute census for the head of households.

Abstracted from original Personal Property Tax Records in the Library of Virginia.

King William is one of eighteen Virginia counties for which the 1810 census is lost. In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two "fair copies" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.

According to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: "Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as "free" or "FN."

The present abstract of King William's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 "substitute" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.

In the current volume, the data is recorded thus:
Beck, Robert                  1      -      2
Bellama, John                1      -      1
Booker, Richard E.        1      -      -
Bouldin, Green              2      6      5

Column one represents the tithable males (16 and over) in the household; column 2 is the number of slaves over 12; and the final column is the number of horses, mares or mules.

For genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as "exempt", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.

Another valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Roger Ward has abstracted all of the 1815 land tax records, and they are available as well.

The 1810 substitute census list for King William County contains 766 households, 760 tithables, both white and free black, and 3,070 slaves over the age of twelve, and 1,793 horses.

Average pillow that might be great for some folks, not for me
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I should have know this would be like every other pillow I've ever ordered. It's too puffy for me. No give. It claims to offer better support for side sleepers but instead it's giving me kinks in my neck. Not for me. Not adjustable. Not versatile. Standard materials. White. Can't speak to washability and durability as I have had it long and haven't washed it. fair price for two standard pillows. I really wish all these bedding companies would stop rolling and vacuum sealing pillows and such.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Comfortable pillows with good support
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I purchased the EIUE Hotel Collection bed pillows (2 pack) looking for something comfortable and supportive, and overall they’ve been a good addition to my bed. The pillows arrived well packaged and fluffed up nicely after opening. They feel soft but still provide decent support for sleeping. I’m mostly a side and back sleeper, and these pillows have worked well without feeling too flat. They hold their shape better than I expected and don’t require constant fluffing during the night. The fabric feels smooth and breathable, which helps keep them comfortable. My only small downside is that they’re slightly softer than what I personally prefer, but that really comes down to personal preference. Overall, these are comfortable, good-quality pillows that offer nice support and value for the price. I’d recommend them if you’re looking for hotel-style pillows that are soft yet supportive.
