Do you find little clues in tax records? When I reviewed the Lincoln County Kentucky tax records, I made some discoveries that are helping my CRAWFORD research in the area.
- Discovered John Crawford — who owned 913 acres of land
- Sellers families listed beginning in 1787
- Rebekah Crawford (widow) listed in 1787-1791
- James Crawford owning 114 acres of land on Sugar Creek (same description as land owned by Rebekah Crawford) in 1794
- Douglas families listed beginning in 1789
1795 Mystery
- William Crafort – 500 acres Richland Creek
1799 Mysteries:
- James Crawford — 100 acres on Rolling Forks
- Robert Crawford — 200 acres
