'''Census Substitutes <br>Records that identify a person’s place of residence are often used as substitutes for censuses during times when censuses were not required or when censuses are missing. Some census substitutes include city directories, tax lists, and voting records, described in the “Directories,” “Taxation,” and “Voting Registers” sections. These records may be published as statewide census indexes, which often provide only vague references to the source of the information indexed. ''' Slave schedules for the 1850 and 1860 censuses list the names of slave owners but do not normally list the names of the slaves. The numbers of slaves, whether male or female, and the slaves’ age-ranges are given. Tennessee slave schedules at the Family History Library are cataloged with the population schedules. The 1850 and 1860 mortality schedules list the names of slaves who died during the twelve months preceding 30 June 1850 and 30 June 1860. | '''Census Substitutes <br>Records that identify a person’s place of residence are often used as substitutes for censuses during times when censuses were not required or when censuses are missing.

'''Mortality Schedules (1850–1880).''' Mortality schedules list persons who died during the twelve months before the 1850–1880 federal censuses were taken. In addition to providing the same information about the deceased person that the regular census schedules provided for the living, mortality schedules also state the month, cause of death, and the number of days ill. The Tennessee State Archives has these schedules, and the Family History Library has copies: | '''Mortality Schedules (1850–1880).'''
