Have you ever wondered where so-and-so went when he or she dropped off the Personal or Land Tax Lists when studying WCV?  Could the person have died... have moved...?  Even more likely is the fact that they probably did not pay their taxes for that year.  Unfortunately, the delinquent lists do NOT accompany the PPTLs or Land Tax Lists available at the Archives of VA.  I recently (Nov 2011) visited the Historical Society of WCV at Abingdon where several of these delinquent (likely personal property tax delinquencies) lists were located among the volumes meticulously compiled by D. E. Brown (who, I am told, had rescued the documents from the bell tower of the WCV courthouse).  There are a surprisingly high number of delinquents, representing many of the more esoteric inhabitants of the county who frequently do not bear mention in many of the county’s records.  Therefore, these lists are especially useful to researchers.  It is hoped that additional lists are available which can be also transcribed. The following are drawn from said volumes:
