I had my first experience with a Jones County Tax List today---1818 This is what is tells: Name polls slaves Land/acre Quality/land counties Grantees Watercourse Adjoiners $ cents tax A poll was all free white males over 21. Grantee (I assume) is the name of the original land owner/grantee from State of Georgia Pleasure wheels (buggies or vehicles not necessary for farm work) The list is divided into Captain Districts....(but I'm not sure where these were exactly, but we are working on this) This is hard to convey without columns, but hope you can translate it. Captain Floyd's District James Commander 1-0 101 2 Jones Linar Wolf Creek Mitchell $.56 5 ½ {This means James Commander has ONE poll, 0 slaves. Owned 101 acres of 2nd quality land in Jones County. Linar was the original Grantee. It is located on Wolf Creek. Adjoining Land owner was Mitchell. His total value was $.56 and his tax was levied at 5 1/2.} Daniel Shaw 1-4 1-1 2&3 Jones - Walnut Creek Rows $1.75 2 /14 Jonathan Parrish 1-13 117 2 -Walnut Creek Clinton – 202 3 LAURENCE Blanshard Rocky Dist 22 #113 – 2 lots and builidng in Clinton at $2,050 Stock in trade at $4,500 2 pleasure wheels $21.51 5 ¾ Elcanah Briggs 1-5 2202 2&3 Jones Eubanks Walnut Cr Perdue $2.32 9 ½ One lot in Clinton at $27 Henry Parrish 1-0 Alexander Jackson 1-4 50 2 JONES Shaw Woolf Raines $1.68 7 ½ Abner E.
