Overton County 1850 Slave Census
Russell Anderson, a TNGenWeb volunteer, has been diligently abstracting 1850 and 1860 slave schedules from the U. S. Censuses of 1850 and 1860.
These census schedules show the name and location of enslavers, ages and descriptive demographic details of enslaved individuals, and occasional notes.
