Remmant Tax Digest

Explanatory: This is the first tax digest found in the court house, and was 
taken to give practically complete census of the heads of families of that 
date, to identify their lands as headrights, and possible bounty grants for 
Revoluntionary service, and to replace in a measure the census of 1790, all 
of which for Georgia was destroyed by the British during the War of 1812 in 
Washington, D.C. There is no complete digest until 1802, only a few pages 
left in the interim. The remnants for 1792, 1793, 1794 have been published in 
"Some Tax Digest of Georgia" Ruth Blair, State Historian and Archivist, and 
give valuable information.
