Message Board Post:
I am trying to figure out how one individual fits into my
family group and I need more info. This person at various times gave his birth as early as
1808 and as late as 1833.
The year of birth makes a huge difference in this case. Since there are no probate records
that would help clear this up I
am trying to see how early I can find him in a county record. Any record with a date in it
will do.
So what records from this period survive? I am thinking tax
(non-property) and voter lists. I am fairly sure there was
no land ownership. Thanks.
