A while back there was a big to-do about a Crews male in early Madison Co., KY --I forget which one. At any rate, while trying to file in my clutter room, I found an excerpt photocopied years ago. The 1788 tax list for Madison Co., KY, was found in the basement of Administration Building, Old Capitol, May 1922. It was transcribed and published Vol. 20, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, 1922. (You probably can order a copy from either the Kentucky Historical Society or from the Allen County Indiana Public Library. Expect to pay a fee. There are three pages. On this list taken by Robert Rodes, Commissioner in the County of Madison for the year 1788 were these Crews males. (If Kentucky followed the example of her parent county, Virginia, then males 16 and over were tithable/taxable.) Crews, Thomas 1 -- 4 Crews, David 2 - 2 - 13 Crews, Elijah 1 -- 2 First figure: White Males Tithes second figure - Blacks over 16 third figure - horses and cattle Comparing David Crews holdings of horses and cattle, one may deduce he was one of the wealthier taxables.
