Bud, I don't know which tax records burned in 1812, but the lists for Madison, Fayette, Jessamine exist thru 1830 I know of - I have them on microfilm (all but Madison, which I looked at in Richmond but don't have here). I located my people on these early lists in those 3 counties. ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
