U.S. federal censuses of Tennessee were taken every ten years from 1810 to 2000. For 1810 only the Rutherford County census survived, and for 1820 only the censuses of Tennessee’s eastern counties survived. The 1890 census was destroyed. The 1890 Union veterans schedule and index for most of the state is available. All other federal censuses through 1920 are available to the public. | U.S. federal censuses of Tennessee were taken every ten years from 1810 to 2000.
