If any subscribers suspect one of those Harrises in early Nelson Co., KY were of Virginia origin, it may be well to check with what is called The 1787 Census of Virginia. (Nelson Co., then Virginia, was formed 1784, several years before Kentucky became a commonwealthy in 1792.) This hefty compilation (three fat volumes, with the 3rd volume being the index to the previous two volumes) is not a census at all, but in many ways, I feel these personal property tax lists are superior to the 1790 censuses, where those censuses still exist. A number of years ago, two dedicated ladies--Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florine Speakman Love--took the 1787 personal property tax lists of each Virginia county and compiled these lists. There may be several tax lists for each county, depending on how many districts there were in a county. As Nelson Co. KY in 1787 (as well as several other large Kentucky counties) was a part of Virginia, the predecessors of those Harrises in later Nelson Co. may appear. (No guarantees in genealogy, that is why we have to search SO MANY records!) At one time, and probably still, the authors and some genealogical booksellers, sold individual county booklets for far less money than the three bound (and hefty, I say again) volumes. However, you may be missing a BIG clue if you opt for the county booklet only. Why? Because some of these people owned personal property (real property is NOT listed) in both Virginia and in Kentucky, and you may overlook that fact!!! Only by going over these volumes again and searching all the Harrises listed in the index (in Vol 3) did I discover that my Christopher Harris of Albemarle Co., VA also had personal property in Madison Co., KY. He was in the process of migrating. Remember: The 1787 Census of Virginia These volumes may be hard to find in your neighborhood, but consult with your public librarian and ask about interlibrary loan. And do not overlook your State Library as a source for borrowing some genealogical books. Long before the internet, genealogists were pestering their public librarians for interlibrary loans, and some of us were put off by the librarians because it was a LOT of paper work for them. With so many library catalogs online, and a special network for librarians, interlibrary loan is easier than formerly. May you be successful in your searches for Harrises!!! E.W.Wallace
