{"title":"Georgia: Warren County","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"102-8476","title":"Georgia Free Persons of Color, Volume I: Elbert, Hancock, Jefferson, Liberty, and Warren Counties, 1818-1864","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn 1818 statute of the Georgia legislature required all free persons of color to register with the inferior court of their county of residence. According to the statute, county clerks were required to inscribe each freed man or woman by name, age, place of birth, residence, year arrived in Georgia, and occupation. While not all clerks performed their duties to the letter of the law, these source records contain vital identifying information for African-American Georgians long before the Civil War or the watershed 1870 U.S. census. The ensuing registers, varying in their completeness, survive for twenty-one Georgia counties. (By the way, the only way to emancipate a slave in Georgia was by an act of the legislature. Antebellum manumissions, though rare, were granted for unusual acts, such as defending an owner's property during a British incursion during the War of 1812, extinguishing a fire at the state capital, and other faithful service.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is a transcription of the free black registers for the Georgia counties of Elbert, Hancock, Jefferson, Liberty and Warren. Mr. Ports has arranged the contents of the record books in a series of tables, county by county and chronologically thereunder. A full-name index at the back of the volume provides for easy searching. Because the recording styles of the county clerks differ from one another, or from year to year, the author has provided an overview of the registers he found in each county, references to any gaps in the registers, handwriting irregularities or peculiarities, and so on. In addition to the required information, a few clerks recorded the registrant's height, weight, skin color, and name of their guardian. Persons of a historical mindset will appreciate Mr. Ports' inclusion, in the front matter, of the wording of salient Georgia laws from 1818 to 1835 that mandated the registration of free Negroes. These are followed by the Georgia manumission statutes enacted after 1798. Finally, since, in theory, the freedmen and women were required to register themselves every year after 1818, researchers will be able to track the whereabouts or disappearance of individuals over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael A.

The counties for which tax records are provided, with their years of coverage, are as follows: Camden 1794, 1809; Chatham 1806; Glynn 1790, 1794; Hancock 1812; Lincoln 1818; Montgomery 1797, 1798, 1805, 1806; Pulaski 1818; Richmond 1818; Warren 1794, 1805, 1818; Wilkes 1792, 1793, 1794.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor each tax list a great deal of information is provided that cannot be found in any other record source. For example, each tax list generally gives the name of the taxpayer, the name of the adjoining property owner, and the name of the original grantee of land–information impossible to find in a census record and of the utmost importance in genealogical research. In addition, though less relevant genealogically, the tax lists identify the number of slaves attached to the property, the watercourses, the acreage, and the value of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eValuable as they are, when these lists were originally compiled and published by Georgia State Historian Ruth Blair in 1926, they were not published with an index and were almost impossible to use. A dozen years later, however, a new State Historian, Mrs. J. E. Hays, prepared a complete index to all 25,000 taxpayers and adjoining property owners and published it as a 1938 W.P.A. project. The two parts, the 1926 Digests and the 1938 Index, are finally united in this reprint edition which can now claim to be the foremost source in early Georgia genealogy. To the genealogist searching for his Georgia roots, this is the true starting point of any serious research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuth Blair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1926, 1938), 2003, paper, 490 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806317335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-0484\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42423235018870,"sku":"102-0484","price":77.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-0484.png?v=1753807373"},{"product_id":"117-ga31","title":"Some Georgia County Records, Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book contains abstracts of legal records for Columbia, Hancock, Jefferson, and Warren counties, Georgia.
