I am working off a photostatic copy of the 1821 tax lists for Allen Co. If I misinterpret any of writing and get someone's name spelled incorrectly, please post the correction to the list. This list was filed 12 Sept 1821 by Wm THOMAS, Deputy Clerk. There are several things written on the cover page which inclues: William HOLDER, Daniel HOLDER, No ____. William PULLIAM Commissioners Book Year 1821. This is repeated twice more. Whites: 378. Blacks: 215; total 593. To this is added 464 for a total of 1057. No indication of what the 464 indicates. Then, Allen Co KY. Column headings are: Persons Names Chargeable Tax, 2nd rate land, 3rd rate land, County in which the land lies, Water Course on which the land lies, In Whose Name Entered, In Whose Name Surveyed. On the 2nd page were whites over 21, blacks over 16, total blacks, horses, stud horses, rates of coverage, jacks, rates of coverage, taverns, billiard tables, Wheel carriages, no of wheels, town lots, town where the lots lie, value of land and total value. In these posts I am only going to be showing the name, acreage, rating of land, location and whites over 21. Land in Allen Co unless otherwise noted. The tax records were kept in alphabetical order by the first initial of the last name. This then cannot indicate if the individuals were neighbors - each letter of the alphabet had ATWOOD, John: 78 1/2 (3rd), Difficult, 1 ASHFORD, John R: no land, 1 ASHFORD, Thomas: no land, 1 ATWOOD, James Jr: 105 (3rd), B.
