Owing to the destruction of these census records  genealogists doing research in Kentucky have been obliged to reconstruct the lost data from a number of related records  particularly tax records. Those printed here represent all the tax lists ever published in \"The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society\" and are among the earliest Kentucky tax records in existence. In a few cases these tax records date from a period either immediately before or after the 1790 and 1800 enumerations  and show  by comparison with the reconstructed census records for 1790 and 1800  published by Charles B. Heinemann and G. Glenn Clift respectively  the movement of early Kentuckians from one county to another. In other cases the records serve both as an adjunct and a corrective to the Heinemann and Clift works  though the vast majority of these tax lists--giving the names of about 12 000 taxpayers  their counties of residence  and the number of persons and chattels attached to their households--do not appear in either work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666049392693,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806310677","price":48.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806310671.jpg?v=1782416978","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/early-kentucky-tax-records-9780806310671","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
