Well, that has been my experience as I'm going back thru some of my Crawford Kentucky research in hopes that it leads me back another generation.
I've recently re-looked at Madison, Lincoln and Garrard county tax lists and combined with land records, I have a much better understanding of who the various Crawfords listed in these tax roles are. Since I have deeds indicating James Crawford (husband of Martha Knight) lived in Barren County, Kentucky, I decided to re-look at those tax records.
I first searched the Barren County KY tax lists some time ago. Based on the "V20-0014" notation on my notes, I'm guessing I used the American Genealogical Lending Library to research these records at home.
Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't know enough about the family for this information to help me.
Since that time, I've discovered a couple of land records that place James Crawford in Barren County, KY. The first one I found was for the sale of 200 acres of land on the Marrowbone in 1821. The second deed was for the sale of Rebecca (Rebekah) Crawford's land in Garrard County, KY in 1804.
These deeds and my additional knowledge about the families and neighbors has made easier for me to figure out the Barren County, KY tax records.
- David Crawford who is listed in 1799 and later is an unknown (image 10)
- James Crawford who is found on image 31 with 200 acres on the Marrowbone
- The Dooley and Douglass families are found in these early tax lists.
- By 1800, James Crawford owned an additional 50 acres on the Marrowbone and 200 acres in Cumberland County (image 67)
- By 1802 William Sellers is listed with 100 acres of land in Barren County (image 141)
- By 1802, there is a second James Crawford (image 119)
- By 1805 James Crawford Jr is listed with 50 acres of land on the Marrowbone (image 275)
- By 1806, William Sellers is no longer listed as owning land on the Marrowbone. There is a James Crawford owning 50 acres of land on the Marrowbone (image 335)
- In 1806, there is a James Crawfford owning 190 acres of land on the East Fork of the Barren River (image 372)
- By 1808, no Crawfords are listed owning land on the Marrowbone
- James Crawford shown in the tax list owning 200 acres on the Marrowbone is the James Crawford who sold 200 acres of land on the Marrowbone in 1821
- James Crawford listed as 'little' or 'junior' is the other James Crawford who migrated to Preble County - the one married to Sally Smith Duggins
- William Sellers is the William Sellers who purchased land in Ohio as a tenant in common with James Crawford
- The Dooley and Douglas families in the Barren County tax records are the same Dooley and Douglas families from Garrard County, KY
- James and Martha left Barren County earlier than James and Sally - thus arriving in Preble County earlier
I will need to find land and/or court records to help prove these theories.
