You may need to look in Virginia for the marriage records. All of Kentucky was originally in August Co, VA. Between about 1772 - 1776, it was Fincastle Co, VA. The first permanent Kentucky settlement was at Harrodsburg in 1774 and Boonesboro was settled in 1775. In 1776, Kentucky was taken away from Fincastle Co, VA and became Kentucky county,Virginia. In 1780, Kentucky county was divided into three counties: Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln. Kentucky officially became a state in 1792. It's possible there may be some records in Lincoln Co. as early as 1780 but you may need to look in Fincastle Co. and Augusta Co. for the 1773 marriage.

Tax lists for LAND go back to 1782 for each county or city, or whenever it was formed. The same goes for PERSONAL property tax lists. (Personal Property tax lists for the STATE level were suspended from 1808-1864). What remains of these lists is available at the Library of Virginia on microfilm, but a comprehensive list is not "on line." Some have been published here and there, and USGENWEB may a good source to find some of them. The ones for Culpeper and Madison counties, for example, are fairly intact. When available, I much prefer the personal property tax lists since they include almost every person who was taxable, even if they did not own land. Of course the land tax records are wonderful as well, but relying solely on those may exclude people you may be looking for. > [Original Message] > From: Patricia Kantzer <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 1/11/2006 2:19:53 PM > Subject: [VIRGINIA] Early Tax Record databases > > Does anyone know if there are pre-1790 tax records for Virginia that are online and searchable? > > > ============================== > Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records. > New content added every business day.

Believe me I cannot begin to tell you how fast this works. I am now out of debt and have a continual flow of cash which I have been vesting all due to this "system". I suggest trying it just once, and seeing for yourself exactly where you can be financially in just a few weeks.

If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been!

If you decide to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their time to participate in this program: "What an amazing plan!

But when I checked my paypal account a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan Tovar, NY,NY "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" -Richard Barrie , Boulder,CO The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal account with at least $5 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here's what you need to do. . . REQUIREMENTS [THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED VERBATUM FOR THIS TO WORK] #1) an email address #2) a Premier or Business PayPal account Now follow the steps: 1-4 STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this to the address bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure "https" within the link) Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not just a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from other people. STEP #2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive." Now all you have to do is send $5.00 by way of PayPal to each of the six email addresses listed below. After setting up your free paypal account and confirming or verifying YOUR ACCOUNT AND putting (five Dollars) $5.00 into your Paypal Account use the Account tab on Paypal to send $5.00 to the first of the names above. List then move the top one and place yours in the #5 spot on the list of names #1-#5. Remember your name becomes #5. Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal.. so please don't forget!) Note: (If you do not see the full email address for the 5 members, just hit reply to this email and they will show up.) (Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal account yet, use this link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com #1) [email protected] #2) [email protected] #3) [email protected] #4) [email protected] #5) [email protected] Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A Business... An Email List Service Business If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws. STEP #3 - Adding Your Email Address After you send your five $1.00 payments, it's your turn to add your email address to the list! Take the #1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up one (5 becomes 4 & 4 becomes 3, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one used in your PayPal account) as #5) on the list. **MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.** STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc...... The Pure Joy of Receiving PayPal Money! You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200 newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and me rich!!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed. Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank account is being confirmed. HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer's temporary memory. Step #2) Open a blank 'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy to a Word Document. and Place in the email upon completion. Step #3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then search with subjects like? millionaire message board? or money making message board? or opportunity message board? or money making discussions? or business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message. Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'Paste' from the 'Edit' menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! **JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.** Explanation of why it works so well: $$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 5 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't another one of those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works!
