Ray County, Missouri Court Records - Ray County Assessor's List 1821 The following list was transcribed from the Ray County Assessor's List for 1821, "Missouri Pioneer Book" Volume 2 February 1968, p. 39-41, compiled and published by Miss Nadine Hodges & Mrs John Vineyard & Mrs Howard W. Woodruff issn 0276-1637 The list was sorted alphabetically for ease of locating names. The number on the left indicates the order in which the name appeared on the original list. Joan Graham Atkinson From the book: The names listed below were copied from the original record in the Assessor's Office in the Ray County Court House at Richmond. On the back of the first page was the following notation in handwriting which indicated that it had been made many years ago: "Assessor's List, but for what year - does not say - supposed for 1821." Undoubtedly it was for that year since the list was signed by Zadoc Martin, Assessor of Ray Co., and according to county records he was assessor only from April, 1821, to January, 1822. At the time of this tax list, 1821, Ray County covered all of the areas now included in the counties of Clay, Carroll, Clinton, DeKalb, Gentry, Worth, Caldwell, Daviess, Harrison, Livingston, Grundy and Mercer. The assessment was against all property, Real Estate and Personal, including slaves, horses, cattle, jewelry, etc. The notation "unmarried" was made opposite the names of single men and $1.00 assessment valuation was added to each. In this list of names (*) indicates "unmarried". 1 Adkins William 2 Adams Joshua 3 Adams Martin 12 Adams Pleasant 4 Adams Richard 8 Adams William 9 Adkins Wiatt, Jr. 15 Adkins Wiatt, Sr. 11 Adkins William 6 Allen Abraham 5 Allen Isaac 7 Allen John 10 Allen John 14 Allen Thornton V. 13 Averett Howard 30 Baitman John 96 Bancroft Timothy 317 Barbee W. 18 Bartleson John A. 25 Baxter Stephen 357 Bear Jacob 364 Beard Jacob 21 Beaty William 328 Beck Abraham 17 Best Humphrey 19 Black James W. 31 Black William 29 Black William L. 27 Bogart Alexander 369 Bradford Edward 33 Brewer Henry 22 Brewer Stephen 28 Brewer Thomas 339 Brown Christian 20 Brown Hugh 24 Brown James 336 Brown John 26 Brown Joseph 32 Buchanan James 16 Buckridge James 23 Burns Jeremiah 39 Campbell Thomas 40 Camron Elisha 62 Camron Jonathan 47 Carell James 41 Carell John 54 Cary Jefferson 58 Cary Kemp 56 Cary Nathaniel 36 Casner Jonas 49 Clack Dickson 43 Clark Rensselaer 341 Clark William 360 Clay Stephen 44 Clevenger John 37 Clevenger Pharis 45 Clevenger Richard 50 Clevenger Samuel 64 Clevenger Zachariah 38 Collier John 354 Collins Eliazer W. 63 Collins James 333 Comstock Stephen 382 Coon Michael 61 Coots Abraham 42 Cornelius Benjamin 55 Cornelius John 34 Cox Joseph 35 Creason William 52 Creek Abraham 65 Crocket David 60 Crockett Joseph 51 Crowley James 53 Crowley Jeremiah 59 Crowley John 66 Crowley John 46 Crowley Samuel 57 Crowley Samuel 48 Crowley Thomas 70 Dagley James 362 Daly John 367 Davis Albin 73 Davis John 68 Davis Norman 71 Davis William 72 Dean John 67 Dobson John 318 Doxey John 69 Duvaul Daniel 356 Eaton George 74 Edwards John 75 Edwards Thomas 81 Elliott John 77 Elliott William 340 Elsford James 78 Estes Henry 76 Estes Peter 79 Estes Thomas 80 Evans John 337 Ferrell George 91 Ferrens John 89 Fields Benjamin 85 Fields Ebenezer 90 Fields John, Sen. 92 Fields Joseph 82 Fields Levy 87 Fields Stephen 88 Fields Thomas 83 Finley Travis 94 Fletcher David 93 Fletcher Jesse 95 Fletcher Moses 84 Fowler Joseph 86 Frost Thomas 105 Garnet Foushee 106 Gauge Joseph 107 George Baley 110 Gill Joseph 100 Gilliam Cornelius 97 Gilliam Jesse 102 Gilliam John 378 Gilliger Anthony 103 Gillmore James 108 Gragg Benjamin 109 Gragg Henry 323 Green Duff 101 Grooms Abraham 98 Grooms Francis 99 Grooms John 104 Grooms William 118 Hall Elisha 117 Hall William 122 Harris John 344 Harshley Wm. 121 Henderson Wm., Jr. 116 Hiatt James 132 Hill Alexander 115 Hill James 131 Hill Jesse 313 Hill Richard 129 Hill William 120 Hinkston Harlow 114 Hixon Andrew 113 Hixson Thomas 126 Hodge John 124 Homes Davis 374 Hoods Teal?
