Oglethorpe CO. GA - 1801 Tax List (Partial) Capt Seymour Lees District pg9 Submitted by: Eric Hartsfield Hartsfeld@aol.com I would like to submit the following transcription to the Oglethorpe County, Georgia GenWebArchives page. It is one page from the 1801 Tax List. The page is titled "Capt Seymour Lees District Page No. 9." Captain Seymour Lee's District is listed on pages 8, 9, and 10 and seems to coincide with Georgia Military District 236 "Grove Creek District." The abbreviations seem to be as follows: The attached file is page 9A of the 1801 Tax list of Oglethorpe County. I included the key for the column headings again. I added one more water course that I had omitted (Millstone Creek). Anything appearing in <> braces is purely my editorial comments and does not appear in the original. I haven't transcribed the second half of the page yet (9B). I will transcribe it and page 10(A&B) too. Captain Seymour Lee's District covers pages 8, 9, and 10. The final listing is #93. I did not photocopy the rest of the county. I do have additional years for the same district (some just a page or two instead of the complete district). I intend to transcribe them as time permits. I have noticed with the Hartsfield entries that a single tax pole first appears for a man the first full year after he turns 21 (or when he moves to the county). I have also noticed that a landholder's death year can be determined if the executor paid the tax one year and the landholder paid it the previous year. The Tax Books themselves appear to be transcriptions of the original tax rolls. There are two tax rolls dated 1805 in the book and none for 1804. The Captains in the first 1805 list match those of 1806. The captains in the second 1805 list match those of 1803. It would seem to me that the second 1805 tax list is actually 1804. I will look for other clues to verify this theory.
