²Livingston Co. was formed in 1798/9 from western Christian Co. (i.e., it was created legislatively in 1798 and organized locally in 1799).  In 1799, the Christian Co. tax book is labeled "Christian or Livingston."  The Livingston Co. tax books begin in 1800.
³The 1799 pages are water damaged and barely readable in places.

Available from the author at 4396 Coopertown Rd., Russellville, KY 42276, or from the Christian County Genealogical Society, Hopkinsville, KY.  [If you have a copy of the 1814-18 volume and are willing to sell, please contact me.]

None of the Wyatts appear on the town lists for Hopkinsville.  As the Elk Fork and the West Fork of the Red River, Reins Lick Creek, and the eastern portion of the East District were all in the eastern part of Christian Co. that became part of Todd Co. when it was formed in 1820, it is no surprise that these Wyatts drop off the Christian Co. tax rolls in 1820.

I don't believe that Jacob Wyant was a Wyatt; I think his name was simply misspelled in 1811.  [Wyant is a known Dutch surname.]

Proximity on the list below does not infer geographic proximity.  Page numbers are those in Willhite, not in the tax rolls.

Censuses

Kentucky did not achieve statehood until 1792, so there was no 1790 Federal Census in Kentucky.  The 1800 Census of Kentucky was lost/destroyed (see tax rolls).

The John Wyatt in Hopkins Co. appears to be a bogus record.  All the Hopkins Co. records have page numbers in the 300s, not the teens; there is no other Hopkins Co. record on p. 18.  (Page 18 records are in Caldwell Co.)  This record does not appear in the online version of the Broderbund database (at GenealogyLibrary.com) nor in the AIS Census Index database (online at Ancestry.com).

McGilvery Wyatt is included because he was married in Christian Co. in 1816.  Who is Richard?  Thomas Wyatt is gone, but two of his sons show up in the next census.  With whom were they living in 1830?
