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:
Districts Tax Captains Rank Appointment Date
Spear
Bryant
Coleman
588 Willis, Thomas M. Captain 25 May 1840
539 Britt, L. B. Captain 18 Mar 1839
599 Lucus, Cinsinnatus (?) 2nd Lt 31 Oct 1836
504 Dumas, Edmund Captain 22 Dec 1840
523 Bridges, Simeon Captain 23 Sep 1839
554 Brantly, James M. Captain 18 May 1840
Kelsay
Burgess
618 Rowe, John Justice Of Peace 14 Jan 1841
632 Tomlinson, Leonard C. Captain I May 1840
466 Middlebrook, Albert Captain 4 Feb 1841
596 Dillard, Willis Ensign 10 Mar 1837
Nall, Coleman T. Ensign 23 Apr 1834
The following are deceased persons that someone else returned their taxes. The dates are
death dates or will/probate filing. No death record could be located for those with no date.
The 1840 census does not have forty four of those listed, two were found listed and six
possible family members with the same name.
