Mississippi state census records were enumerated for several years.
Genealogically speaking, these will hold the name of the head of
household and number statistics for other members in the household.
They can prove helpful for filling in gaps. Known MS state census
years are 1801, 1805, 1808, 1810, 1816, 1818, 1820, 1822, 1823, 1824,
1825, 1830, 1833, 1837, 1840, 1841, 1845, 1850, 1853, 1860, and 1866.
All of these are incomplete sets of data. Some of these are online
at the
Mississippi USGenWeb Census Project. The
others can be viewed on microfilm or published in book form at the
Mississippi Archives. If you are unable to visit the Archives
or find them free online, many of these censuses are available at
Ancestry. See 1805-1890 Mississippi Census.
