If I have been told correctly,tax list/military list were not made every year. I have been told old law permitted two year occupation before taxing, besides finding the resident was no quick task. I have found Doallarhydes books on boundaries helpful. Now there are web sites of old maps. Remember the adage circle the county/boundary you know in ever widening circles.

My family was in Madison Co., KY, in 1801. Then they disappear and show up in Clay Co., KY in 1807, and a little later in Estill Co., KY. At first I thought they were probably on the same land and just the boundary lines changed. But, where were they in 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805, and 1806? They are not in Madison, Clay, or Estill. Is there another county I should look at?
