Okay, here is a question: Which Hardin County tax lists start with free white males over 16 and which were with free white males over 21? 1795 - listed any free white men over age 16... 1796 - ?? 1797 - ?? etc. Kathie | Debbie, | Tax records gave different info for different years but all included the | tax payer, amount of land if any, the water course that it was located | on or near. Early years included who originally entered, surveyed and | patented the land being taxed, value of land. They would be taxed on | livestock,, coaches, carriages, billard tables and retail stores and | slaves also. Some would list the number of free males over 21 in the | household. In 1795 the free while males 16 and over was put on the tax | record. Also the kind of land, 1st rate (cleared land) 2nd rate | (cleared with some woods) or 3rd rate (all woods) was listed in the | early records. | Carolyn | | Horine, Debbie L wrote: | | >In regard to the tax lists, what kind of information is available?
