Description
Betty Runner Murray's foreword to her transcription of the 1847 Platte County Tax List states:
"Unfortunately, some pages are missing from the first of the list. The ”A” and some of the "B” names are lost, with the transcription starting on page 13."
(Researcher's note: Those "lost" pages would account for an unknown number of slaveowners and 197 slaves with an assessed value of $40,126.00.)Date(s) of Creation
