 | 1844 Madison Co., KY tax assessment: Valentine Ward
Being listed in Madison Co. in this assessment indicates that Valentine and family moved from Estill Co. to Madison Co. sometime in 1843/1844 between tax assessments. The document also lists Valentine as having three children between 5 and 16 years old. These would be William (b. 1936), Allen (b. 1840) and Elizabeth (b. 1842). As for taxable items, Valentine's entry again shows only 1 horse, its value up from $20 in 1843 to $30 in 1844, a shocking increase for the time! |
