BARREN CO. TAX LIST:

Almost every year from 1806 until 1829 John Grinstead in the Barren Co. tax list. In 1806 he is "1000", that is, he is a white male over 21 without a horse. In 1807 he has a horse, and in 1808 he has a horse and is taxed on 100 acres, but after that his entry is routinely "1000" with no land. In 1814 he has 1 town lot and pays $1.50. In 1817 he has 2 town lots and pays $8.00. He continues to be "1000" until 1829; in some years he is taxed on a town lot, but there is often no indicated payment. Tax lists for 1830-32 are missing, and John is not present in 1833 and in 1834.

John Grinstead is in the 1810 census in Barren Co. He lives in the county seat Glasgow. He has a wife and 3 children and was born before 1784. He is not in the 1820 and 1830 censuses. John Grinstead is the real pioneer. He was the first to leave Virginia and go to Kentucky. He was in Barren Co. in 1806. His lack of land suggests that he was an artisan who lived in Glasgow. It is surprising that he did not own a horse. In 1829 he was "11000", meaning that he was a white male over 21 and that he had one child between 4 and 15. He may have died or left Barren Co. in about 1830.
