SCHLEY COUNTY, GA - 1877 TAX LIST ***************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm *********************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Harris Hill http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00011.html#0002514 To see this DOCUMENT in HTLM format; http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaschley/1877taxdigest.htm 1877 Tax List This document is part of a looseleaf collection of genealogical records relating to specific families in Schley and Sumter counties and was found in the Ellaville library's history/genealogy section. It was in typewritten format and I can only guess at it's age. The collection was prepared by Mazie Manson Harvey and is an uncopyrighted work. ;At first, I thought it was a synopsis of the 1877 Tax Digest and I suppose in a way it is, however after transcribing it, I now feel that it was most probably a report that was prepared for the Harrold-Johnson Co. for some business purpose. Initially, it appeared that the Real and Personal columns were actual valuations, but after you get into GMD 882, it becomes apparent that this is not the case. I can't believe that even in 1877, there could have been land valued at $.80. So, I feel compelled to say, disregard the numbers as having any validity except as possible comparison. The names were originally in a sort of alphabetical order by GMD. I took the liberty of alphabetizing them for the convenience of searching. Items in parenthesis are my attempts to correct what I believe were errors of the original transcription. Lastily, the original document had one of the pages out of order which resulted in about a page of names being in the wrong district. I sensed this but verified it by use of the 1870 census. I corrected that as a result. In short, I have tampered with the source material and that definitely makes this my OPINION of what is accurate. The importance of this work is that it places specific persons and families at a specfic place and time and that alone is it's value. When viewed that way, I think even altered it is a valuable research tool for Schley county researchers. There is no known copy of the 1877 Tax Digest in existance. This may be as close as we get. I hope it proves useful to you.
