Hi Gwen,
I didn't determine where they came from...I had been told where my grandmother was born (Jasper County, Ga) and went from there. I don't know about Green and Taylor County having the highest black population, but I kinda doubt that even if she is referring to todays population....I'm not from Ga, but I would estimate that Atlanta, Fulton County and Savannah, Chatham County would have the highest populations...as it was in 1920 (see below).
Here is the 1920 Census index of black Head-of-Households and/or individuals in the state of Ga taken from the Heritage Quest census index:
