State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br> | State censuses are census records that were taken at the state-level rather than at the federal.

Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood.

Some territorial counties also maintained tax lists which may provide a useful substitute. For more information, check the online resources on the [[Missouri Taxation|Missouri Taxation]] page. | |||
