Surnames: Dodson, Felts, Renner, Deering Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RKT.2ACIB/1535 Message Board Post: Has anyone out there done any in-depth research on any of the Dodsons who lived in (particularly) pre-1850 (or even later) Wilkes County, GA? I am currently going through the tax digests. What I have available to me ends in 1823. I would like to continue into the 1830 and 1840 era. Has anyone done later tax digest, or even land or probate research in this county? Some of the Dodsons who lived in Wilkes migrated outward to Columbia, Chattahoochee and a dozen or more different counties in Georgia and no telling where else in other states, all prior to 1850. If you know your ancestor was at anytime in Wilkes County and moved on I would like to be able to document that fact and would appreciate you contacting me. I know some of the people I am finding are from the Charles County, MD bunch and some from the Richmond and Halifax County, Virginia bunch. Thanks, MIC
