This person at various times gave his birth as early as 1808 and as late as 1833. The year of birth makes a huge difference in this case. Since there are no probate records that would help clear this up I am trying to see how early I can find him in a county record. Any record with a date in it will do. So what records from this period survive? I am thinking tax (non-property) and voter lists. I am fairly sure there was no land ownership. Thanks.
