Kentucky Tax List

silentbeauty

Hi all!

I found an ancestor on the 1821 Mason County Kentucky Tax List but the lists aren't indexed and I am struggling to read to headings. I am hoping one of you can help me know what the headings say. Here is the link:https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS3J-DQY6-6

If it is helpful the ancestor is George Calaway he is on line 3.
