Daniel White - Daniel White was on the list of Tithables for 1739 in Orange County...

In seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Virginia, the term “tithable” referred to a person who paid (or for whom someone else paid) one of the taxes imposed by the General Assembly for the support of civil government in the colony.

The tithe was based upon the taxable's status of being free of a mother who was also free and of color. The tax was due on males age 16 and a few times, on females, not often. The head of the household was the person who had to pay the tax, not always the taxable; depends. The head of the household may or may not have been a person of color. It depends on if they are paying on themselves or someone in the household.

So Daniel White was of color? 😊 Sorry for so many questions...

You'd have to see who was in his household. He was taxable for someone. It was a family member, a resident of his home, hiimself if he had a grandmother on his mother's side who was of color in the last 3 generations.

See the picture in his Avatar? It can not be of his actual person as the camera was not invented in his lifetime. He was b. 1706 if I got that right, can't see well.

Did you see the picture of the wife? Also, not possible to be her actual visage; no camera in her life time. She is a brickwall. She is likely whom he was responsible to pay tithes on, being that she is a brickwall. Happy Studying.

Private Thank you, I have been enjoying the knowledge I'm gaining!! I hope you have a great evening

Private these Whites are on Len's paternal side.

Some sources have this Danie's wife Sally Bolling show her lineage as shown on these sites, but it has been a good while since I looked at any of this:

If that's her true lineage, I don't see anyone of color in those lines for the tithe to have been on. Which makes me wonder if an unproven link to the Pocahontas Bolling line might have some validity.

Given that he first occurs on the tax list later in his life and not at age 16, had his mother been the reason for the tithe, it would be someone in his household as a resident.

"Tithable" *does not* necessarily have anything to do with "of color". It just means somebody owes a tax to the colonial government. (The majority of tithables were white male property owners and their households.)

Tithable law helped erode African people’s access to freedom by increasing the cost of being free. Requiring a certain amount of production by “all negro men and women…” increased English controls over African labor. The “Tithable” law presumed that African women worked the land,

There were no real estate taxes in Brit law. It was poll taxation owed by the head of the household on someone residing in the house, based on the mother's legal status of said person who was being taxed.
