Warren County 1850 Civil District
Reconstruction Project

There is no extant map of the 1850 Warren County Civil Districts. These District boundaries have change from time to time and therefore modern District lines will not match those 1850 lines. In the 1850 U. S. Federal Census for Warren County, household numbers were assigned to the dwelling places of the residents. Here, we will attempt to place household numbers in the exact proven locations. Contributions are very welcome. However, we must be very sure of the information, good guesses just won’t do. If you have provable information as to the exact location of a household, please contact us.
