Although some clerks were already recording such features, an 1834 Act of Assembly made it a uniform requirement to record identifying marks and scars and the instrument of emancipation, whether by deed or will. This bound register often coincided with a loose certificate containing largely the same identifying information. Both the registration system and the process of renewal was enforced differently in the various Virginia localities. Thus, the information found in these registers may differ from year to year and across localities.","The register books resulting from the administration of the 1793 and 1803 Act of Assembly are evidence of Virginia legislators' reaction to a quickly growing free Black and Multiracial population in Virginia in the post Revolutionary War period. Acts such as these allowed white officials to police the activities and movement of free Black community members throughout the state thereby restricting their autonomy.","Locality History: Fauquier County was named for Francis Fauquier, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 1758 to 1768. It was formed in 1759 from Prince William County. The county seat is Warrenton.","The register (Call Number Mss4 F2742 a 2) was loaned to the Library of Virginia by the Virginia Museum of History \u0026 Culture (formerly the Virginia Historical Society) in 2007 for microfilming. It was returned upon completion. The register was transferred to the Library of Virginia in 2022.","The microfilm of the \"Free Negro\" register was originally described as Fauquier County (Va.) Register of \"Free Negroes,\" 1817-1865, but was removed to the present Fauquier County (Va.) Records related to the Registration of Free Persons, 1817-1865, record to enhance the context between record types in April 2025.","These records were processed, scanned, and indexed by S. Nerney, L. Neuroth, and LVA staff for the purposes of digitizing them for the digital project Virginia Untold: The African American Narrative in 2007 and around 2022.","Encoded by S.

Based on the New England administrative organization of a county, each township would elect the administration officials for the offices of supervisor, clerk, assessor, collector, commissioner of the roads, overseer of the poor, justice of the peace, and constable. The supervisors of each township would comprise the board of supervisors for the county, and would be responsible for auditing the county accounts, examining the assessors' books, regulating property valuation, and fixing the county levies. The Acts of Assembly provided that each township be divided into school and electoral districts (see Acts of Assembly 1869-1870, Chapter 39). A constitutional amendment in 1874 changed the townships into magisterial districts and each district elected one supervisor, three justices of the peace, one constable, and one overseer of the poor. The supervisors of the districts made up the county board of supervisors whose duties were identical as those set out in 1870. The published Acts of Assembly appended a list of township names by county following the acts for every year that townships existed in Virginia.","Fauquier County (Va.)

Information recorded includes division of the township into road districts, appointment of road overseers, qualification of road overseers, appointment of election judges, accounts claimed against the township board for road work, other accounts claimed against the township board for business of the board, establishment of tax and levy rates, occasional overseer of the poor claims, payments to township officials, reports of taxes collected, and other financial reports of the township collector.","Cedar Run Township Tax Book, 1873-1874, consists of taxes kept by the township collector. The volume pages are divided in half down the center. The left side of the page contains the taxed person's name and the amount of tax due to land, town lots, and personal property. The right hand of the page contains a form for each taxed person calculating the amount of tax including acres of land and total value of that land as well as whether or not payment was received. This form was filled out by the collector and could be torn off and returned to the individual as receipt of payment. Some of these have been cut or torn out and presumably returned to the taxed person as their receipt of payment, but many have not.

References are made to payments related to township officials, small pox, road work, and goods or services provided to township paupers.","Centre Township Board Minutes and Accounts, 1871-1875, contains minutes and accounts.
