This collection includes annotated transcriptions of yearly property tax digests from selected counties in South Georgia during the late nineteenth century. These records contain the names of property owners in a given county, and information detailing the quantities and valuation of real and personal estate (property). 

​

The transcriptions are partial, focusing on information particularly useful for historical and genealogical research. They include the following: 

​

• Names of Property Owners, as recorded in the digests; notes and clarifications, based on our research, provided when possible. 

• Name and Number of Militia District (GMD) in which each property owner resided. 

• Total acreage of Land owned. 

• Specific Land Lots (LL) and Land Districts (LD) in which land is owned. 

• Total Value of Land owned. 

​

​

The collection is a work in progress, and will grow as more records are transcribed. The property tax digests for 1890 will be published first.
