See Frank Parker Hudson, Wilkes County, Georgia Tax Records, 1785-1805, (2 Volumes).


Frank Parker Hudson's compilation is an incredible resource for this time period. The district letters are as assigned by him in his book. The numbers are also assigned by him, numbering each person in sequence as that person appears in the tax digest.


Moses Mathews, often said to be the father of William Mathews, appears starting in 1785 in District G, in the southern part of present day Lincoln County.


Joel Miller and William Miller appear in 1790 in District KKK, in the eastern end of present day Madison County. This area became part of Elbert County in 1791.
