On the spine is printed BAKER COUNTY TAX DIGEST 1845. Pages are not numbered, but the first page begins with names beginning with the letter H. Toward the end of the book the alphabet is mixed. Writing is very bad and often faded. Some question marks willbe noted where proper spelling is in doubt. Other names are spelled as written. The county in which land is located was not always given. Baker County was created in 1825 from Early County and at the time of this tax list Baker included present day Dougherty County and parts of Calhoun, Miller and Mitchell counties.
