transcribed by Jan Monnin<\/h2>\n

Each of the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1850-1880 included a mortality schedule enumerating the individuals who had died in the year previous to the census year. Because each of the censuses from 1850-1880 began on June 1, “previous year” refers to the 12 months preceding June 1, or June 1 (of the previous year) to May 31 (of the census year).<\/p>\n

From National Archives microfilm Series T655. 1850 roll 26, 1860 roll 27, 1870 does not exist, 1880 roll 30.<\/p>\n

(Transcriber\u2019s Notes \u2013 the schedules include birth places of parents and also the name of attending physician.\u00a0 I omitted these due to space constraints.\u00a0 Also, I did my best to transcribe the information, but sometimes the writing was hard to read.\u00a0 If a space is blank below, it means it was also blank on the original schedule.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, the 2 pages below that I transcribed are page 601 and 604.\u00a0 These appear to be the entire 1850 mortality schedule for Perry County.\u00a0 Thank you, Jan Monnin).<\/em><\/p>\n
