Kentucky Census Notes: Kentucky state census records: There are not any known to exist unfortunately. 1790 and 1800 Federal Kentucky census records are missing, however, there are reconstructed lists created from tax lists and published in book form. These provide somewhat of a census substitute. Keep in mind that Kentucky was formed in 1792 so records previous to that were actually located in Virginia.

Kentucky (Statehood: 1792) Early settlements of Kentucky include Harrodsburg in 1774 and Boonesboro, founded 1775 by Daniel Boone. Between 1776 and 1780, Kentucky was known as Kentucky County, Virginia. The early years of the area were extremely difficult for settlers as Indians fought for the land they held dear and many lives were lost in the ensuing battles. The first three counties were organized in 1780. They were Fayette, Jefferson & Lincoln. These original counties were divided into the many known counties of today. There are many free census records online for Kentucky.
