Abstract:

George T. Teal (1868-1941) was a Black business owner of a tinsmith shop in Crockett, Texas, from the 1890s to the 1940s. This small collection of Teal family materials consists mainly of George Teal's Texas tax payment receipts, dating from 1903 and 1941. There are some additional family receipts and a notebook documenting Teal's tinsmith work. The collection would be of potential interest to those researching structurally racist policies and deceptive practices related to property assessments and taxes.

Dates: 1898-1943; Majority of material found within 1916-1942
