          The Tax Digest by Jeannette Holland Austin


The tax digest is sometimes misunderstood. Goodness knows it is never in 
alphabetical order and difficult to read. However, it is a record of 
property owned in a specific county and is there for tax purposes. 
Sometimes it provides lots of details, such as exact acreage, 
watercourses, adjoining neighbors, and whether or not the person was 
deceased or an orphan. Administrators and guardians file these reports 
with the county. Also, the digest lists Defaulters; that is, those 
persons who for some reason or the other did not pay their tax. Good 
clue here. Did they move or die? What I do is try and discover the 
subsequent owners of that property. All to go on is the acreage, 
watercourse, etc., but that is sufficient for the old days. I look for 
the same surname and see if that exact parcel may be listed under 
perhaps a son, or heir. The reason for this is that deeds were not 
always recorded and we simply do not know who the land passed to. If 
there is enough information from a deed, such as land lot number and 
district, you can go to the county tax commissioner's office, look at 
the map, and determine its location. A good followup here is to visit 
all the cemeteries in the area to search for relatives. Diggin.

GRAVES. I am researching early Georgia to discover more about the Graves 
family. My gg grandfather was George Graves who married Lulender Gunn in 
1840 in Warren County, Georgia. I can't find George's parents. There was 
a Thomas Graves Sr b 1729 Lower Potomack Hundred, Maryland. He and sons 
are listed on the 1790 Franklin County Census. I can't connect any of 
them to George Graves yet. One thing I know, is that Dr. George Graves 
who married Mary Scott June 26 1790 in Augusta, Georgia is not the 
father of my George Graves. My George Graves and wife moved west through 
Alabama, Mississippi, and settled in Wood County, Texas 1854-1858, where 
they are listed on the 1860 census. I am aware of a Graves family in 
Muscogee County Georgia and wonder if they are related to my George 
Graves? Eddie Graves, Wichita Falls, Texas. egraves at sw.rr.com

PEACOCK. From: S A STANCLIFF Date: 5/17/2009. I've been trying to 
desperately find the gravesite of John Peacock (married to Nancy 
Peyton), both from Maryland. Here's what I know: --first they lived in 
Oglethorpe Co.; he died in Jasper Co., GA; his birth/death dates: 
1745-1826; There are a lot of Jasper Co. deed documents I've found on 
line between he and his sons, etc. I assume he's buried on his 
land...which is hard to pinpoint. He had sons Lewis, Daniel and 
William...just to name a few of his children. His son Lewis married Avey 
Hill, daughter of Mordecai Hill. I've visited the county library in 
Monticello, GA but still can't find where he's buried. Thanks for 
anything you can supply. Susan Stancliff 770-939-4698
