1850 Lawrence County, Mississippi Census

Finally I found some time this weekend to place online the 1850 census for Lawrence County, Mississippi. This census provides information on residents of Lawrence County, Mississippi during 1850. The 1850 census was the first census to provide names of all members of the household, prior to this census, only the heads of the household was enumerated. Blacks, nor Indians are mentioned, unless they were “free.”
