Free African Americans – Bertie county Tax Lists vary. Some Tax Collectors (Captains of the Districts) listed the name of the slave, while others merely listed the numbers.
The amount paid can also determine the number of slaves and their value.

Free persons of color were heavily taxed, and there may even be a register of free persons in some years. These lists may even contain the name of minors and of white guardians.
