pnktntxl Tax record information comes from: _Wilkes County GA Tax Records 1785-1805_, vol 1 and 2, by Frank Parker Hudson, compiler and pub- lisher, 1996, Atlanta GA. Deeds information from _Wilkes Co. GA Deed Books A-VV 1784-1806_, compiled and published by Michal Mar tin Farmer, 1996, Dallas, TX. I attempted to record "every" related or allied surname living in the same tax district as a PINKSTON; also those sur names I "associate" with (John) Henry STARR and the families his sons married as well as "Maryland" surnames. On this latter, you must remember it's been several years since I researched those records. I added some obvious VA surnames too. I found myself recording less "duplicates" in the later records; some of the "skipped" names in numbers is the same surname, but different given name, often a son without property. In the latter years I tried to pick up "different" surnames by recording every 7th one or so. In his earlier books, Hudson "assigned" identifying letters to various militia districts as ways to keep them straight as Cap- tains changed as well as keys to his maps of the area. They are arbitarily assigned, and have nothing to do with the original records. I plan to type the tax data, then insert any relevant deeds data -- but may change my mind if this file gets too long. Many of these people owned land in two counties -- I added the total acerage together to save space. 1785 Capt.
