Cathey Census Records - Kentucky Tax Lists
[Cathey Home] - [Census and Tax Records]
I abstracted these from the original images on familysearch.org (unless otherwise noted). I was rushing through and didn’t get the exact column headings, though generally it’s white male tithes over 21 (or 16), then blacks 16+, blacks 12-16, horses, cattle. Some include land acreage and description. If you have questions about any specific entry I can go back and get the exact column headings.
Most non-Cathey listings are married to a Cathey or were somehow associated with the Catheys (or potentially so).
I checked many of the Kentucky counties that existed prior to 1800 where I thought their might be Catheys. I didn’t check every county.
County: Floyd | Green | Lincoln | Logan | Madison | Mercer | Nelson | Washington
