Since the 1790 U.S. Census was
destroyed, the only thing researchers have available to determine
whether a family member lived in an area or not is the local
taxpayer's list. This is another listing to help provide such reference.
If you have any other comments or questions about this list please
contact your coordinators. This
database was found in a 1979 edition of "The Kentucky
Genealogist", Vol 21, No 3, apparently contributed by Dr. William
Talley, and noted as one who has done more to preserve the
genealogical record of northeastern Kentucky than anyone else. This publication is a
quarterly of the Kentucky Historical Society, and it should also be
noted that these works by the Society contain the most useful information
for genealogists to be found anywhere. Always be on the lookout for any of these
publications. This one was transcribed by Nettie Hance Watson of
the Filson Club. Note: Even though the database appears to
be alphabetical, it is not. The sections are alphabetized
correctly, but the names are sometimes out of order within it's own
letter. Those words that appear in parentheses were unclear to
read by the transcriptionist. Key
