This may be of interest to genealogical researchers: "Population of Kentucky >From The Year 1790 to the Year 1870, Inclusive" >From Collins' Historical Sketches of Kentucky History of Kentucky by the Late Lewis Collins (long phrase afterwards - revised, etc. by his son, Richard H. Collins, A.M., LL.B.) Here are the statistics: 1870- 18,457 1860 - 14,262 1850 - 12,171 1840 - 9,548 1830 - 6,659 1820 - 5,714 1810 - 4,703 1800 - 1,468 Suggestion: (If you cannot find your ancestor in the US census, try the tax lists for the county. Also, check the slave censuses (US census). At times I have not been able to find a person in a regular census after 1840, but then, convinced the person was a county resident, I have checked the slave censuses and verified that he was indeed a resident--and a slave-owner. Also, Kentucky has birth records for a short time beginning ca. 1852, but the Civil War caused a blip in this valuable, to genealogists, lists of birth and deaths. I have found a few Kentucky ancestors on the death records ca 1852 and later. Some of the early tax lists for Henderson Co. are on the internet.)
