Official and Statistical Register of the State of Mississippi, Centennial
Edition, 1917, by Dunbar Rowland, Director of the Department of Archives
and History, printed in Madison, Wisconsin, by the Democrat Printing Company.
According
to Dunbar Rowland, “It will be noted that tax lists of certain counties
have been used in this compilation. These are largely in accord with
census returns, and are used for the reason that the census rolls of these
counties are not available.” Adams County was one of the counties
where the tax roll was employed.
Take
caution in using a search feature with this material. Census takers/tax
assessors often spelled phonetically. In addition, the transcriber
may have made mistakes, too, copying from and trying to interpret the original.
This particular tax roll has many misspellings.
