Ballard County, Kentucky

1843 Tax List Part 1
Ballard County was taken from Hickman County in 1842, so I believe this is the first tax list. There were twoTax Books made for 1843 by D. Riggs, Commissioner. Here is the first one.

Please send me any correction in spelling of names. By in large, the Tax records are easily read, but sometimes names are not clearly written ot the ink is somewhat blurred. Thanks.

Year: 1843
Book: 1
Tax Collector: Daniel Riggs, Sen.
County Clerk:  Jacob Corbett
Date Recorded:  22 June 1943
Area Canvassed: South of Mayfield Creek
