There are no state census indexes for 1820 or any year until 1830. The Greene Co State Census indexes are listed from 1831 through 1839 The 1840 Federal Census of Alabama is complete and online. The 1840 Alabama Pensioner's Index is online. There are 196 names and their ages are given as well. Almost all counties have at least one pensioner listed or more. I am presuming these are pensioners from the War of 1812? The 1850 Federal Census of Alabama is complete and online. The 1855 State Census of Alabama is indexed online. Covers just about all counties including Jefferson. I think from then on the Federal Censuses take over.

Thank you for this very useful reference tool!
