Mecklenburg's 1810 census was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the abstracted personal property tax list offers a substitute census for the head of households.

Abstracted from original Personal Property Tax Records in the Library of Virginia.

Mecklenburg is one of eighteen Virginia counties for which the 1810 census is lost. In August, 1814 British troops occupied Washington, DC and public buildings were put to the torch. In the destruction that followed, numerous early records of the government were lost, including all of Virginia's 1790 and 1800 census reports, as well as eighteen county lists for the state's most recent [1810] federal census. Although two "fair copies" of each county's census had been left in the counties for public display, these were ephemeral lists and not preserved, and by 1814 they too had been mislaid, lost, or destroyed. Hence, the closest document available we have to reconstruct a partial image of the missing county lists is the personal property tax list.

According to research notes by Minor T. Weisiger, Library of Virginia archivist: "Information recorded in Virginia personal property tax records changed gradually from 1782 to 1865. The early laws required the tax commissioner in each district to record in "a fair alphabetical list" the names of the person chargeable with the tax, the names of white male tithables over the age of twenty-one, the number of white male tithables between ages sixteen and twenty-one, the number of slaves both above and below age sixteen, various types of animals such as horses and cattle, carriage wheels, ordinary licenses, and even billiard tables. Free Negroes are listed by name and often denoted in the list as "free" or "FN."

The present abstract of Mecklenburg's 1810 personal property tax list is NOT a transcript of the entire document; rather, it is a summary of three items important in delineating the 1810 "substitute" census for this county, i.e., number of male tithables 16 and older, number of slaves twelve years and older, and the number of horses. The original form of the census was in alphabetic order by date and letter. The substitute list presented here is in absolute alphabetic order for easy reference.

In the current volume, the data is recorded thus:
        Coleman, Cain                           1          -          -
        Coleman, Obadiah & his sons,
                James, John, &
                Anderson                           4          6        9
        Coleman, William &
                Coleman, Whitehead        2        21        25

Column one represents the tithable males (16 and over) in the household; column 2 is the number of slaves over 12; and the final column is the number of horses, mares or mules.

For genealogical researchers in this 1810 period, personal property tax records may provide additional important information. Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as "exempt", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.

Another valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815. In that year, the enumerators began to add the location of the property in relation to the county court house. Roger Ward has abstracted all of the 1815 land tax records, and they are available as well.

The 1810 substitute census list for Mecklenburg County contains 1,757 households, 1,805 tithables, both white and free black, and 5,340 slaves over the age of twelve, and 6.010 horses.

Awesome quality mouse
Fantastic value. First it feels like a quality mouse and works like a mouse 3-4x the price. It is solid and has nice weight to it, not like some of the flimsy competitors. I am buying another just to have.

Quiet, Comfortable, Convenient
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I ordered both this mouse and the Proto arc because they are budget friendly and both have good reviews. Not much sets them apart, both are great options! This Seenda is slightly larger which I decided was best for what I need. (Hands 6.5in x 3.5in) Quiet, smooth, similar weight and feel when moving around. Similar control on the screen as well. Both incredibly easy to pair with my Macbook. I ended up choosing this one because I love the colors and I like the knob that turns the volume up and down. They both have buttons that when clicked, go back a page, or go forward a page. I will update my review if it is not durable.

A Smart Upgrade: Seenda’s Ergonomic Mouse Impresses
Color: Blue
As someone who has relied on a traditional wireless mouse for years, I approached the Seenda Ergonomic Mouse with cautious curiosity. I was interested in exploring ergonomic options, but unsure how significant the difference would be. To my surprise, this device made an immediate and positive impression. The mouse is impressively quiet and highly responsive, gliding effortlessly even on a standard desk surface—so much so that I’ve done away with my mousepad altogether. Its ergonomic design provides a natural hand position, which enhances comfort during extended use, especially when browsing or working online. One of the standout features is the inclusion of forward and backward navigation buttons, which streamline web browsing. Additionally, the conveniently placed voice control button on the top of the device adds a modern, user-friendly touch. That said, there are a couple of areas for improvement. While the rechargeable battery is convenient, the mouse does not offer an option for traditional batteries. Furthermore, it appears to lack a clearly visible low battery indicator, which could potentially lead to unexpected downtime. However, I have yet to experience any battery-related issues during use. Overall, the Seenda Ergonomic Mouse is a well-designed and enjoyable tool that significantly enhances the computing experience. It delivers on comfort, functionality, and performance—earning it a strong 4.8 out of 5 in my review.

Amazing mouse! Real wrist saver.
Color: Purple
I do a lots if computer work. This mouse has really relieved the strain on my wrists and hand. It connects via blue tooth or usb remote. Hold a charge for a long time. I usually charge it at least once a month, but sometime I forget and it still works for two, and use it all day long or leave it on. Easy to adapt to. Too knob adjusts volume. Scroll disc on right side and forward back button on left side.
