    3. Bud, the first tax lists in District of KY were 1787 - at least, as far as I have found. The early originals microfilmed for the counties are available from LDS library. I do not know of any reliable transcripts online; if the scanned originals are anywhere, I don't know of it. These old tax lists are as or more helpful as a census - they are not just names, but much other info is included. The most interesting are the 1790s, which show the history of men's land among other things. I will check if Ancestry has any scanned tax records.

    3. Was this not a reconstructed tax list? If so many person could be missing. And I think the year was 1792, Is 1791 more extensive? Does anyone know of an online site? Bud.

    3. The book E. W. refers to is on most Library shelves where I live. It was compiled from tax lists that were known to exist at the time. It might be available on-line at Google Books, Ancestry or Heritage Quest. I compared the "1787 Book" listing of names in Fayette Co VA, with the actual microfilmed original lists of that county, and found the book did not contain all names on the tax lists. I believe this was because researchers extracted names from only one of the tax commissioners' lists, thinking there was only one list. I believe this happened for Lincoln Co, also, which was to include all in many counties originally in Lincoln. It is very true that some of the tax lists for parts of various counties have been lost forever - in Fayette as well as Madison (Lincoln). Even a researcher with the KY Historical Society extracted a tax list for publication long ago, thinking it was complete, when it was only one of three for that county I know is now available on microfilm. These old researchers did the best they could with the resources they had at the time. I remember being limited to what transcribers had published in genealogy books, before I began doing my own research from scratch! Since I haven't read all the tax lists of Virginia counties existing in 1787, this book may be a better source for VA counties other than those out in the wilderness.

    1. [MADKY] The 1787 Census of Virginia
    2. There has been some discussion on this list of the use of the 1791 tax list for Madison Co., KY--when my books tell me that Kentucky was still a part of Virginia. I hope some of your readers have access to some very valuable books for genealogists who search both Kentucky and Virginia. There are three volumes compiled by two diligent genealogists and published some years ago. I am not sure these books are still in print. They are called The 1787 Census of Virginia by Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florine S. Love The third volume of this set of the 1787 Virginia personal property tax records [for nearly every Virginia county, including the counties in what is now Kentucky and what is now West Virginia] is the index. (Find more information on your favorite catalog list--such as the Library of Virginia catalog or mine--www.familysearch.org - the link to the FHL catalog is on the right o the opening screen) I have learned to be more careful in using this index in the third volume. I now photocopy every instance of my surnames, some of which are VERY common. I learned that one of my main ancestral families had personal property in Albemarle Co., VA as well as in Madison Co., which was to become part of Kentucky in 1792. If your surname is common, like Anderson and Harris, you take these index pages aside and with a clean piece of BIG paper (* 1/2 x 11 is OK) put the page numbers in numerical order. Then with that list in hand, go back to the photocopier and photograph every page, being sure to note the county if it is not listed. Also photocopy the key in Vol. I [perhaps subsequent volumes] so that you will know what those little numbers mean. You may find as I did that personal property of your [supposed] ancestor was in several counties. This included livestock and slaves. Land taxes are different and not included in this valuable set of books. You may have to go to a University library to find this set of books. But use the tax lists carefully. You will note some widows are listed, if you are careful. The widow's son may be listed as a tithable (generally age 16 and over but not yet owning personal property). You may find your ancestor is migrating in or prior to 1787 based on this 1787 personal property tax list. I wish you luck. Follow up, if at all possible, with reading deeds--and probates--and land tax records--for those counties in which you find your surname(s). Who said detective work was easy? Some people expect to find all the answers on the internet. That is only the beginning!!! E.W.Wallace still doing detective work after all these years! **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

    1. Re: [MADKY] William YOUNG b. 1791 in Madison Co KY.
    2. Paul, as a member of the FTDNA Anderson Project, I know exactly what you mean!! We will talk privately about that. All those Anderson names in the the NC land grants, may easily be related to mine - except the Benjamin; none of those in my lines. Also, these are a little late to be my immediate Andersons, since we were already making land entries in KY in 1779, which became grants where they lived in Madison Co and Jessamine Co before the dates in NC. These could easily be sons of brothers of my Andersons. I know of an unidentified Anderson b.1812 TN who shares very close ydna with us, but which brother he came from is not yet pinpointed. We have an 8th-9th gen common ancestor in VA. Thanks for the info you post; I have not yet researched TN, since none of my line lived there.. Mary Alice

    3. Mary Alice, I do not want to complicate things but I believe some of my Cumberland / Granville County, NC ancestors migrated to Eastern Tennessee in the 1780-90 period.

    1. [MADKY] Book Pertaining to Early Kentuckians and Descendents of some Granville Co Folk
    2. Dear Subscribers, Yesterday--and previously--I have mentioned that a good many books, out of copyright, it seems, have been digitized and appear on the online genealogical database called HeritageQuest. A good many public libraries have a subscription. If your library does NOT subscribe, ask *Why not?* Then ask the librarian to help you find a nearby library where you can pay an annual fee to be able to access this helpful source. The book I mentioned yesterday was a Calendar of the Kentucky Papers of the Lyman C. Draper Manuscripts. (Use the search term in the Book section: Calendar). [I have to return to that search, as there are other good books further down the list] Today, I am reminded that a Filson Club publication has been digitized and is also on HeritageQuest under Books. The author is George W. Ranck, and the book is Boonesborough. Long ago, when I discovered this book [I snoop in all the libraries which I frequent], I found some *goodies* pertaining to my people in the Appendices as well in the main text. I must get to the digitized book and see if those Appendices are still there!! The book seems to be well indexed--and seemingly cross-indexed also. Use the search term Boonesborough. As you must know some early Kentucky history, Col. Richard Henderson of Granville Co. NC, was the main speculator behind the establishment of Boonesborough. His agent, at least in the beginning, was his first cousin, Col. John Williams (later a Judge, as was Henderson, and he was called John Williams, Esq. in Granville Co. records). A few of the letters of these cousins appear in the Colonial Records of North Carolina, if memory serves. Some of them pertain to family members. I hope you find some interesting material in Boonesborough--maybe even some to expand your family history. E.W.Wallace **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

    2. M. A. Farrell
    3. The Kenticky microfilms of Draper Manuscripts I have ordered from LDS Library, are indeed readable; however, some Shane papers, a sub-folder of Draper, are written with ink that bled through some of the pages. I could still read it, tho. Since I collect copies of the original handwritten docs, they were easy to copy. A modern book exists, describing microfilm reels covering all Kentucky record sources and where they are located (Roseann Reinemuth Hogan, published by Ancestry, 1992, available at Amazon). She says, "The Kentucky papers [of Draper Manuscripts]consists of 37 volumes. An index as well as a subject index has been published by the Wisconsin Historical Society (Weaks 1979)..." This is the person E.W. mentioned. The "Guide to Draper Manuscripts" I ordered from LDS Salt Lake Library, was on microfiche, so much cheaper than ordering reels of film (only 15 cents per sheet). This may be the book Roseann Hogan and E.W. refer to, but I don't have author details now.

    1. [MADKY] Calendar to the Kentucky Papers of the Draper Manuscripts
    2. Those subscribers who have access through their public library to the online genealogical database called HeritageQuest may be interested in reviewing the index (first) of the following digitized book. (As I understand it, public libraries, and not individuals, are the main subscribers to Heritage Quest. Originally, some genealogical societies were allowed to subscribe, but I think that practice has been discontinued.) My search term in HQ: Calendar [there will be other books which begin with that word, so go down the list] Pass this along to other rootsweb sites to which you belong--especially those linked with not only Kentucky but North Carolina [whence came many of the people who first settled Boonesborough], Pennsylvania, and, of course Virginia. The author is said to be anonymous, but I believe the calendar was compiled by Mabel Clare Weaks, as indicated on the Family History Library catalog [www.familysearch.org] Calendar of the Kentucky papers of the Draper Collection of Manuscripts Madison: State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1925. 630 pgs. You can click on the index, and you will see many indexed references to Boonesborough, and a lot of pioneers of early Kentucky. The word Calendar refers to a kind of index, so you will NOT see great amounts of information, but enough to whet a genealogist's appetite. The Draper Manuscripts have been filmed, but the copies I read some years ago at my local LARGE State University [microfilm room] were barely legible. I had to transcribe the letters which one of my ancestors wrote to Draper [Lyman Copeland Draper] concerning his own father, who was a sidekick of Daniel Boone. There was another anecdote about the old pioneer given in an interview by his brother-in-law--about his being treed by a bear. Ask at a nearby LARGE library, preferably a State Historical Society or a large University library, whether these microfilm can be read by the general public. In my case, I had to have a card issued by the University library, as that was my *passport* to the guarded microfilm room. (Well, not a security guard at that time, but who knows what the procedure may be these days.) The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has the films of the Draper Manuscripts. You may want to do an author search in the FHL Catalog for *Lyman C. Draper*. There are 147 reels of film at the FH Library. Be prepared that you may have to transcribe the article/letter/newspaper clipping if the film is as bad as I found it to be. Nonetheless, the information is very precious to me. Oh, yes, a grandson of the old pioneer also wrote letters to Draper, indicating there was a quarrel within the family. (Not surprising!) E.W.Wallace PS If you have access to HeritageQuest, how about posting your *finds* on a rootsweb list. For instance I found some information on the family of Nathaniel Hart, an early pioneer in Madison Co., KY [near Boonesborough] entitled Susan Hart Shelby: a memoir. It was written by Samuel M. Wilson, and published in Lexington, KY, 1923. It gave some dates of the birth of Susan's mother, Sarah Simpson, the wife of Capt. Nathaniel Hart. The couple were probably married in Virginia 1760, but I am thinking it may have been North Carolina. Sarah Simpson was the sister of Mrs. Jesse Oldham (Bettie or Elizabeth Simpson), formerly of Caswell Co., NC but later of the Boonesborough area. **************Start the year off right.

Some of my correspondents say they have been successful with another library, by paying an annual fee. 3) Does your State Library subscribe? Ask how you can get a card from your State Library. 4) How about a nearby University or community college library? Do they subscribe? Concerning Madison Co., Kentucky, there are allegedly over 161 hits, but I find the relevancy is sometimes not appropriate. However, Dorris' book is at the top of the list. Not to be overlooked on this list of books pertaining to Madison Co. [on HeritageQuest, that is]: The Boone Family which treats of not only the Boone family but allied families, some of whom lived in Madison Co., KY. Try some of the family names in your search, rather than Madison Co., and you may get more hits. Some of my families are listed; Stoner, Harris, Tribble, et al. And, of course, all those who married into the Boone family, of whom there must be hundreds!!! Also listed in this strange search: The Calendar of Virginia State Papers. There are all kinds of historical documents, including some pertaining to the settling and speculation surrounding Boonesborough. Be creative!!! I have a little trouble *turning pages* in some of the books. A trick I have tried, with some success: At the top of one of the pages is this prompt: Jump to page ...... [fill in the blank] It seems [I stress seems] to work better if I add a space after the number I type in. For example, I am interested in a VERY hefty book about Lunenburg Co., which book I can only skim when I am at my Family History Center. Now I am adding a space after the number, and it SEEMS to work. But, next time it may fail! I hope you can convince someone in your county or a nearby county that subscribing to HeritageQuest may gain that library some patronage!! E.W.Wallace **************Start the year off right.

    3. Pat, page 17: "In 1792, Green Clay, William Clark, William Irvine, and thirty other Kentuckians offered the State 18,550 acres of land and 2,630 pounds sterling to locate its capital at Boonesborough." The only place I have found William Clark. I did not take the time to list each page via indexing that a person appeared.
