I've been doing FAN club research in early Kentucky. So far, I've been concentrating on the area that became Garrard County. Because of changing county boundaries, I've searched tax lists for Madison, Garrard and Lincoln counties.
- Tax Man Cometh - Madison County, KY 1787-1796
- Garrard County Tax - 1797-1806
- Lincoln County Taxes
Since I've identified the Crawford land holdings during this time period. I'm now searching the Garrard County tax lists from 1807 to 1824 to identify the time period when the various families moved away.
Families that could potentially be in Garrard County between 1807 and 1824
- Rebekah Crawford - owned land between Sugar Creek and Boone's Mill Creek
- James Crawford, husband of Martha Knight and likely son of Rebekah Crawford
- James Sellers, husband of Mary Crawford (likely daughter of Rebekah Crawford)
- William Sellers, husband of Sarah Crawford (likely daughter of Rebekah Crawford)
- Alexander Moore, husband of Mary Crawford - owned land on Sugar Creek and on Paint Lick Creek
- James Crawford, husband of Sally Duggins
- James Crawford, husband of Rebecca Anderson -- owned land on Paint Lick Creek
- William Crawford - owned land on Paint Lick Creek
I was able to find the following families:
- James Crawford with land on Paint Lick in 1807, 1808, 1809
- William and Isaac Crawford in 1809
- Two Isaac Croffords listed in 1810
- Isaac Crawford in 1811
- Alexander Moore with land on Paint Lick in 1807
- James Sellers with 100 acres on Sugar Creek in 1807, 1808, 1810-1817
- James Sellers with 148 acres on Sugar Creek in 1821, 1823, and 1824
- Wm S[?] with 100 acres on sugar Creek purchased from Downing in 1819
- James Sellers with land in Barren County in 1807
The William and Isaac Crawford in the 1809 tax list could be the sons of the James Crawford who owned land on Paint Lick. However, I can't explain two individuals named Isaac Crawford at that time.
Since I believe most of these families move away from Garrard County, this tax information helps me know approximately when they made the move. For example, I've already found records for Alexander Moore in Fleming County, KY by 1810. With this tax information, I now know that I should look for records for Alexander Moore in Fleming County starting in 1808.
Thus, my next steps should include:
- Locating records for James Crawford in Indiana starting in 1810
- Check Barren County records for James Sellers between 1817 and 1821
- Continue looking for James Sellers in the Garrard County, KY tax lists
- Research Isaac Crawford in Indiana to see if I can verify that he is the son of James Crawford
- Research William Crawford in Missouri to see if I can verify that he is the son of James Crawford
- Figure out who that second Isaac Crawford might be
- Continue searching for court records, bonds or any other type of record to verify that James Seller owned land in Garrard County
- Continue searching for records for the sale of land by James Sellers
