Abstract:
Taxation was a fact of life for the colonists as early as the 1600s. The main tax was the poll, or capitation, tax. However, as specific needs arose, taxes were levied for them. For example, in 1714-15, a tax paid for the Tuscarora War, and forts were built at Cape fear and Ocracoke with a eight-year tax levied in 1748.

Abstract:
This entry offered three corrections for the May 1998 issue. One was a missing paragraph from Richard Lore’s “The New Bern Historical Society: The First Seventy-five Years.” The second was two lines omitted from Mary Baker’s “John R. Taylor.” The third was the improper copying of an illustration on page five.
