1750 Johnston Tax List

The term “Quit rent” is one that was used in Colonial America to refer to a personal property tax, which was assessed by the Crown. The local Sheriff collected it, and it was sent to the Governor for distribution and administration. It was paid in cash or tobacco. It was one of the “Taxation Without Representation” issues leading to the Revolution, after which it was abolished.
