County Tax List 1872

This helpful list of largest taxpayers in the county from 1871-2 has a bunch of familiar names including but not limited to Barney Ford, all the big developers, D.C. Oakes and Sarah Crull, formerly Mrs. Coberly of Coberly's Halfway House. Sarah Coberly was one of the first white women in the Territory and, through mysterious circumstances, the adopted mother of my great great grandmother Lizzie.
