Hensley Census Records - Fayette Co., KY Tax Lists 1787-1800


[Hensley Home] - [Census Records]


The "Personal Property" tax lists include every white male over age 21 (or over 16), referred to as polls, tithes, tithables, etc. The number of horses, cattle and slaves are also included on the lists. The columns vary somewhat from year to year. In some cases I condense the columns especially if they are not applicable. Refer to the originals to see what I might have left out.


In the table below I'll include the tax list data using the original spellings. The last column will be comments or a link to the web page for that family or person. I abstracted these tax listings from original records which I viewed myself via FamilySearch.org


Fayette County, Virginia was formed in 1780 from Kentucky county. At first it included all of present day north eastern Kentucky, but was quickly whittled down to a much smaller county. In 1792 the state of Kentucky was formed.
