1792 Shelby County, Kentucky Tax List

This tax list was derived from a listing found in "The Kentucky Genealogist", a quarterly publication of the Kentucky Historical Society, dated January 1979, Vol 21, No. 1.   It was transcribed by Nettie Hance Wilson for The Filson Club in Louisville.  Please email your county coordinator if you have any questions about this database.   Since the 1790 census was destroyed, it was felt this work may be beneficial to those seeking to find a timeframe for when their ancestors may have been in Shelby County, Kentucky.   Remember however, that in 1792, Shelby County comprised much of the land running from the Kentucky River to the Ohio River, which today includes Carroll, Franklin, Gallatin, Henry, Oldham, and Trimble Counties, Kentucky.   Click here for a map of the area at the time.
