*The county was divided into just two districts:  from 1804 to 1806, into North and South Districts; beginning in 1807, into East and West Districts.  The change in districts tells us that Ephraim was in the southeast quadrant of early Christian County, which later became the southwest quadrant of Todd Co. when it was formed in 1820.

We know that Ephraim was exempted from paying a "county levy" in 1806, so it's understandable why there is no "male 21 or over" taxed in that year.   Don't know why he is not on the rolls in 1805, 1807, or 1808.
