Whenever I add census data I add the Residence event at the same time
for all members of the family.. This keeps the census a source, not an
event.

look at the chronology it will show their migratory route. If I were
to put this in the notes somewhere I might miss where they were at a
certain time and overlook possible records.

I don't consider Tax Rolls (or for that matter the US Census) as
events; imho they are merely sources for the information they contain
about certain aspects of an individual's life (place of residence at
that particular instance in time, etc.).
As sources I would set them up as:
Tax Roll Mississippi 1816 Territorial
Tax Roll Mississippi 1820 Perry County
Thus all tax rolls would sort by state by year by county in the
Master Source List
