WILKES COUNTY GEORGIA TAX RECORDS, 1785-1805, Vol 1&2, by Frank Parker Hudson, 1996, Vol 1:1785-1796, Vol 2:1797-1805, Index in Vol 2, p1293. Missing Years:1788,1789 & 1803.

 

General Notes from Book: There was no requirement for a male departing his district to notify his captain. Most defaulters can be proven to have been underage for the Poll Tax, or had moved from the district. A defaulter was not one who failed to pay a tax, but one who failed to make a return, and many of those recorded as defaulters owed no taxes.

 

Except for the year 1795, land was returned in the county and district in which the owner resided, not in the county where the land was situated, until the mid 1830s. Quakers, subject to 25% added tax for exemption from military duty. See Marbury and Crawford, Digest of the Laws of Georgia, page 356.
