The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an
enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and
Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British
burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for several states
were destroyed, including those for Virginia, of which Kentucky was
a part. In 1940, this "First Census" of Kentucky: 1790, was
published, being developed from tax lists from the nine counties
which comprised the entire State in 1790. Individuals are listed
alphabetically, and following each name is the county of residence
and the date of the return. The cumulative returns for Kentucky are
included on page one. Also included at the end of the book are the
"Land and Tax List of King George County VA], 1782;" "Personal Tax
List of Fayette County, 1788;" "Personal Tax List No. 2 of Fayette
County, 1787;" "Land Tax List of Prince William County VA], 1784;"
and the "Land Tax List of Charles City County, 1787." More than
10,000 names listed in this work. Paperback, (1940), repr. 2000,
2012, Alphabetical, viii, 118 pp.
