Taxes

*A law of 1801 exempted free males over the age of fifty, and in 1817 the upper age limit was lowered to forty-five. A state constitutional ammendment of 1835 permanently established taxable age:
All free males over the age of twenty-one years, and under the age of forty-five years, and and all slaves over the age of twelve years, and no other person shall be subject to such tax; provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent exemptions of taxable polls as heretofore prescribed by law in cases of bodily infirmity.
