These are 1861 tax records for Coryell County.  Instead of the large books that 
	most things were recorded in, these are in a narrow book in which the pages are 
	4 1/2" wide.  These records are transcribed as nearly exactly as written, 
	including about 10 different spellings of miscellaneous.  After each entry of 
	"Inventory of" the person giving the information signs and then it says "sworn 
	to and subscribed by me, J.P.Key, Deputy Assessor and Collector".  And That is 
	under Every entry! Also every male of adult age had to pay a Poll Tax, women 
	did not have to pay, at this time they were not allowed to vote.
