Barry, you wrote to the Jefferson Co. list: "I checked some of the early census indexes for Alabama (including Madison Co) just now on Ancestry.com including the one for 1808 which does include Madison Co". I tried to find that census on Ancestry, but it doesn't seem to be listed. How can I find it? Margaret
Oddly, I just saw it several hours ago. I asked Google for Madison County Alabama 1816 Census, and up came all of the Madison County early stuff. I think that Jefferson - what I was looking again for - was in Monroe County. Covered a huge area. I could tell Jefferson part by early names. Mr. Prude and those around him - James or Jesse maybe, only Prude around - and Moses Fields. Try that.

Bill, I haven't seen the maps that you were looking at, but I do know that Jefferson County was cut out of what was earlier Blount County. I did find a map that showed Blount County existing in 1817. There's an historical marker near the Jefferson County Courthouse that notes when Jefferson County was founded and that it was formerly part of Blount County.

Jefferson County was taken out of Blount County in 1819.
