Militia Districts in Georgia are political subdivisions which might be called districts, beats, parishes and possibly other names in other states and would pertain to where and whom taxes were paid, and where one voted among other things. The Tax Digests are the most important use of these genealogically as they often are the only census subsititute for the early census records. The letters in bold type where assigned by Mr. Hudson and the numbers in bold are still in use much unchanged today and can be seen on many modern maps. The Wilkes County districts are included to help those researchers who need to find information about Lincoln County settlers before it was carved out of Wilkes County in 1796.
