A tax of three shillings was laid on ev ery 100 pounds of taxable property! and of three .shillings on every tax able person who did not own prop erty worth 1 oo pounds for two years to pay tor the land and buildings. The court house was built in 1780, of wood. "The county was named for Willie Jones of Halifax County, a member bf the Counsel of Safety during the War of the Revolution ?( who in 17s:i secured the rejection of the U.
