This is
the Knox Co. probate for the Curd Cox will (administrative
settlement-Nov.
Term 1859) & is where I found
mention of a man named Charles
CURD. This is the individual I was wondering
about, as a possible relative
to old
Curd. Charles Curd shows up in the 1826
Knox Co. Tax List (Capt.
Graves
Co. ) w/200 acres & 3 slaves.
BTW,
There are no decimals in this old document.
Mostly Curd's sons &
son-in-laws
?
November Term 1859
Curd Cox
On
settlement with Marvell Hill Executor of Curd Cox Dec'd I find as follows.
viz
To this
amt. in hands of Executor on last settlement: $102082-1/2 ($1,020.82)?
1 - John Jett Witness fee
$ 1510
2 - Chas Curd "
" 1575
3- Wm Conner Heir
9157
4- Richardson Cox " 9157
5- Moses Cox 9157
6- Wm Conner 28450
7- Richardson Cox 28400
8- Moses Cox 28400
9-Wm Craig/Clerks fee 50
- 1159 56
Balance Due Executor 13873-1/2
Wm.
Craig Clerk
I think
the tax list that shows Curd in 1804 is listing just his WP (War
Pension?);
that apparently was taxable in some way
?. There is not any
listing
of # acres at that time.
A book
in the McClung Collection (Knox Co. Tax Lists - 1806-1828) shows the
following:
The
1812 Knox Co. Tax Lists show Curd Cox - Yarnelle's Co., 400 acres
1827 Knox Co. Tax List " "
400 acres - 3 slaves
1828
" " " "
" 400 acres - 3 slaves
Incidentally,
Moses Cox is listed as paying tax on 685 acres in 1827 and 400
acres
in 1828.
