*There are miscellaneous censuses recorded on three rolls of microfilm from the OHS, included in the inventory for the Church of Ladder Day Saints and also at the Oklahoma Historical Society and Arkansas HIstorical Commission. All three rolls cover different counties of the Choctaw nation, and have the 1896 census transcribed, and in some cases the original. The other censuses on the rolls vary to undated or dated, and are heads of &nbsp;household only for the most part.
*NARA office Fort Worth has microfilm of Muster rolls for various dates prior to 1855.&nbsp;
