Territorial and State Censuses | |||
1801–1820. The portion of the 1800 census that included the area that is now Indiana was lost or destroyed. A census substitute for this early period is: | |||
Franklin, Charles H. Indiana Territorial Pioneer Records 1801-1820. N.p.: Heritage House, 1983- 1985. (FHL book 977.2 N4i.) Volume 1 covers 1810–1815, and volume 2, 1801–1820. These abstracts of election returns, military records, census records, births, and histories are compiled by county. Each volume has a surname index and maps showing the early formation of counties. | |||
1807. An 1807 census was published in: | |||
Census of Indiana Territory for 1807. Indianapolis, Indiana: Indiana Historical Society, 1980. (FHL book 977.2 X2c 1807; film 1033927 item 4.) This includes an every-name index. | |||
1810. The only remaining portion of the 1810 census is for Harrison County. These records covered the northern part of the county and included most of the south-central part of the state in 1810. They are found in the following: | |||
Beanblossom, Walter S. Early Records of Harrison County, Indiana. N.p.: Beanblossom, 1975. (FHL film 928263 item 5.) This contains an alphabetical abstract of the 1813 tax list of Harrison County and includes the names of the townships. | |||
1810 Census of Harrison County, Indiana (Harrison and Exeter Townships). The Hoosier Genealogist 16 (June 1976): 22–50. (FHL book 977.2 B2h.) This includes a typescript and facsimile copy, an alphabetical typescript copy, and photocopies of the original census. | |||
The FamilyFinder Index and Viewer (FamilyFinder is a trademark of Brøderbund Software, Inc.) and the AIS Microfiche Indexes mentioned previously in "Master Indexes" also index this 1810 census fragment. | |||
1820. In 1820 an enumeration was made of all white male inhabitants (voters) age 21 or older. The records for Crawford, Gibson, Jackson, Jennings, Knox, Monroe, Orange, Perry, Posey, Ripley, Vanderburgh, Washington, and Wayne counties are at the Indiana State Archives. These records have been published and are available as: | |||
Moran, Mary M. The Indiana 1820 Enumeration of Males. Indianapolis, Indiana: Indiana Historical Society, Family History Section, 1998. (FHL book 977.2 X2m 1820.) This book is indexed and shows the name of the male and his county and town of residence. | |||
1853, 1866, 1871 and 1877. The 1851 Constitution provided for an enumeration every six years. The first enumeration under this Constitution was to be completed in 1853, before 1 June. Apparently, in 1859 and 1865 voter enumerations were not taken. Starting with the 1866 enumeration, the age of the individual also was required. Beginning in 1877, the census listed the name and age of white male residents, 21 or over, and included a separate list of names of African-American males 21 or over. This is listed under the heading "Negro". A few fragments of the 1877 census are at the Indiana State Archives. | |||
A few scattered fragments of the 1853, 1866, 1871, 1877 and later enumerations are at the Indiana State Archives. Many of these fragments have been published in periodicals. The Family History Library has one of these records on microfilm: | |||
Hendricks County (Indiana). County Clerk. Male Census, 1853. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1967. (FHL film 488432.) This lists white males over age 21 alphabetically by the first letter of the surname and gives their county of residence. | |||
Some of these voter enumeration lists include: | |||
1853: Hendricks County <br>1857: Blackford County, Hartford City <br>1871, 1877, 1883, 1889: Blackford County (various townships) <br>1877: Fayette County (five townships) <br>1889–1919: Pike County <br>1901: Washington County, Jackson Township <br>1913, 1931: Henry County <br>1919: Ripley County, Jackson Township <br>1919: Starke County, Center Township <br>Census records are listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under: | |||
