These are the Daniel entries from Mr. Hudson's stunning work. He has analyzed the districts through the years to develop his theory about the boundary of "Defacto Wilkes" - the maps and descriptions of the original Wilkes/Washington border were lost, but he has shown what it involved and where people were cut into through the years.
The "Today" column is mine, giving every county that may have received some part of the given district throughout the years. This may be misleading: you should really consult the descriptions at the end!
"Hudson's District Label" is his own system, starting from 1785, which he then tracks through the years as they are split, joined, cut into new counties, etc. He has even determined how many people were affected by changes and hunted them down in their new counties to confirm it. I have organized the data according to the transformation of the districts, thus keeping people together through the years; again the descriptions at the end should be tracked to see the why of this format.
The first time a district is mentioned, there is a link to the description (with a return link to the tax list). "enc"=encompassed, "res"=residents, "1793 rearrange"=the 1793 rearrangement of the Georgia Militia Districts, "trib(s)"=tributaries. I have not written GMD for the numbered Georgia Militia Districts. It REALLY helps to have the militia district map handy, you can open it in a new window, then click on the area to see the GMDs. There are two areas covered in these descriptions, so you have to go to the relevant one.
Many of the columns here were not actually reflected in any given schedule, but they are all included in the headings.
A name with no numbers means that 1 poll was turned in with no other information.
Here is a printable version (smaller print, but all data fits on the page on landscape setting).

James Meriwether confused the north and south forks in this description, (Executive Minutes, Vol. 3), since Scull Shoal Creek is a tributary of the north fork, not the south fork. 1790 - III put into Elbert, 1811 - to Madison.

Before 1787 returns, the entire area betw the fks was made into JJJ, taking res fr Y, HHH, KKK. Then, prior to 1790 returns, JJJ divided in the other direction by a line roughly east-west, creating III in upper half. Descr in Elbert Militia Jun 1791: "Beginning at the confluence of the north and south fork of the Broad River, running thence up the south fork to Scull Shoal Creek, thence in a direct line to the north fork of the Broad River, thence to the beginning."
