1828 MONROE COUNTY TAX DIGEST
DEAR FELLOW MONROE COUNTY
GEORGIA RESEARCHERS, May 1, 1999
In the Monroe County Probate Office
is a book titled 1828 Monroe County Tax Digest. In the book there are two
sections of records. Microfilm 4/34 at the Georgia Archives has this note on the
box:
The 1828 Digest is divided into
2 parts; The second is after 1832.
The first section is clearly the
1828 Tax Digest, starting with an index of the District Captains thru page 89 with
a list of the defaulters.
The second record appears to have some missing pages with
the second page as #2 and the record continues thru page 9 1.
It is my opinion that the Tax
Digest was on or after 1842. The following analysis of many records is offered and
used to draw this conclusion:
