-'''Mortality Schedules (1850–1880).''' Mortality schedules list persons who died during the twelve months before the 1850–1880 federal censuses were taken.

+Prior to becoming a state, the&nbsp;area comprising the state of Tennessee was part of North Carolina. Two sources for censuses taken prior to Tennessee becoming a state are:
-''Veterans Schedules (1840 and 1890).'' The 1840 and 1890 federal censuses included a list of Revolutionary War and Civil War veterans, respectively. A book with the actual 1840 census information is:
+*Fulcher, Richard C. ''1770–1790 Census of the Cumberland Settlements: Davidson, Sumner and Tennessee Counties'' (In What is Now Tennessee). Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing, 1987. (FHL book 976.8 X2f.)

-*''A Census of Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military Service: With Their Names, Ages, and Places of Residence'', as Returned by the Marshals of the Several Judicial Districts, Under the Act for Taking the Sixth Census. Washington DC: Printed by Blair and Rives, 1841. (FHL book 973 X2pc 1840; film 1064759 item 3.)

+At times the state, county, or city may have a census taken for various reasons. The Family History Library has copies of a few special censuses taken in Tennessee:
-For the 1890 census of Tennessee Union Army veterans of the Civil War, see:
+Reed, Sue S. ''Enumeration of Male Inhabitants of Twenty-one Years of Age and Upward, Citizens of Tennessee, January 1, 1891'', ''as Provided for by an Act of General Assembly of Tennessee, Passed January 15, 1891, and Approved January 22, 1891''. Houston, Texas: S.S. Reed, 1989. (FHL book 976.8 X2r 1891). Each of the eight volumes in the record is individually indexed for the counties listed. All counties not included in this work are on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.

-*Jackson, Ronald Vern. ''Tennessee 1890 Census Index.'' Salt Lake City, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, 1990. (FHL book 976.8 X2j 1890.)
