I picked this up from the Carroll Co., GA-L. I did not know about the Nat'l Archives film for the enumeration districts in Georgia and thought others would find it of interest, too. Valerie (Johnson) Freeman Tustin, California "History Never Written is Soon Forgotten" ~~Wally Smith, Campbell Co., GA Gen Web Coordinator =================================== Subj: [GACARROL] District 729 in 1840 Date: 2/25/2002 9:25:08 PM Pacific Standard Time From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Thanks to all of you who sent me information regarding District 729. The following is one I felt contained the more concise information and may be helpful to the rest of the list, Rosebird <<There are two possible answers to your question about Enumeration Dist. 729 in the 1840 census. In the National Archives (branch located near Atlanta) there is record group number T1224 which provides a description of the enumeration districts from 1830 to 1890. Ask the volunteer for the film of this T1224 group for Georgia. For more extensive information you can order a microfilm from the Family History Library in Salt Lake which comes to a Family History Center near you (if there is one). The microfilm number is #159134, Items 5 - 8, which are the tax lists for Carroll County Ga. 1832-1847. For each year, they list number of slaves, land quality (1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, or Pine), land lot number, District number, county, who sold it to them, and sometimes what waterway it is near , and then how much tax is due. I'm sure this same information (numbered differently) is available at the Georgia Archives in Atlanta. I don't know if this information is available in cyberspace. I'm sure the tax digests themselves are not. Hope this helps. Carol Darrow
