This came from another list. Thought it might be helpful. Judy in Newnan Listers, This is one resource that I had not known about. << Research resources- Income Tax Records of the Civil War Years http://www.nara.gov/publications/prologue/fox.html >>

>From its early founding days, Georgia kept tax records. Three copies were made each year. One was kept by the county tax commissioner (not sure of title), one was sent to the state tax commissioner and the third was kept by the county (not sure where). These tax records are valuable in locating an ancestor who does not show up on census records. The early 1900's lists contain names of war between the states veterans in the front of the book. They have NOT been abstracted nor on the net. They have been microfilmed and both originals and microfilm can be found at the Georiga Archives. Depending on the size of the county, there can be 3 or more years to one roll. I looked at them this weekend. The early 1900's books have 36 columns across two pages. They indicate race, occupation, acreage, value, value of personal property, if they owned watches, cattle, wagons, crops., etc. and their value. Only heads of households were listed - NO family members. Lynda

A.B. was a Baptist minister who preached in Cherokee Co. NC where he died in 1928. His mother's maiden name was Rowena Lazenby. He is buried in Cherokee Co. NC. Some of his cousins were named Storey in GA. Any leads appreciated on what his real last name might be. Lynda Wilson
