TRIMBLE COUNTY TAX LIST


Partial Tax Lists - 1838 & 1839





The 1838 and 1839 tax list for Trimble County is missing, but I was able to put together a little information about some of the lost tax data. All the following data is from Court Order Book 1. I will also referrence the page number from this book. I have also thought it would be better to keep the data in the format of how it appeared in the Court Order book. Also note that I have not changed the spelling in any of these entries. If there is a mistake in spelling or grammar, it was done by the Clerk at the time of writing.
