KENTUCKY 1800, BARREN COUNTY TAX BOOK contains 494 names from the Barren County tax list and 1 from The Territorial Papers of the U.S. Even though the 1800 census is missing this list it provides an amazing amount of information that substitutes nicely for that missing census, including white and black males aged 16-21 and those 21 and over. This is the kind of information one would expect to find on the census for that period. This list includes all taxable heads of household. Some additional biographical details may be included, plus possible relationships with other family members. The names of the blacks may be found in court, land, and probate records.Kentucky state motto(s): United we stand, divided we fall; Deo gratiam habeamus (Let us be grateful to God)
