Statewide indexes represent every household in the Tennessee censuses. For most families, they index only the first person listed in each household, who was usually the father or head of the house. Many families, however, had relatives or friends with a different surname living with them when the census was taken. In those cases, the first person of each surname in the household is included in the index. | Statewide indexes represent every household in the Tennessee censuses.
