Tennessee Census Notes
Since Tennessee didn't become a state until 1796, it was not
enumerated in the 1790 Federal Census.
1800 Federal Tennessee census records were completely lost.
This leaves us without early
Tennessee census schedules and it is most unfortunate for those of us
searching for ancestors in Tennessee during this time period. Early
Tennessee tax records may prove to be helpful. See
Early TN Tax Records &
Earliest TN County Records.
1810 Federal Tennessee census records exist only for part of Grainger County and all of Rutherford County.
All other counties are missing.
1820
Federal Tennessee census records only survived for 20 eastern
counties. They are: Bedford, Davidson, Dickson, Franklin, Giles, Hardin, Hickman, Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Maury, Montgomery, Overton, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Shelby, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson and Wilson.
Federal
Tennessee census records are complete for census years 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920
& 1930.
See
1790-1940 US Census Records at Ancestry.
1890 Federal Tennessee census records were completely destroyed by
a 1921 warehouse fire, however, the schedules for Veterans and Widows
census did survive and is often helpful for locating ancestors in that census year.
See A Fire Destroyed The 1890 Census,
Bridging the 1890 Census Gap & 1890 Veterans Schedules at Ancestry.
There is an 1891 Tennessee Voters List
which is often used as a census substitute for the missing 1890 Federal
census. It is included in the
1810-1891 Tennessee Census Records & Voters Lists at Ancestry.
