Howdy List Members, Below is an abstract from the Secretary of State's site. Does anyone know if any 1845 census records for Edwards Co have survived? I am looking for a William YOUNG. Thank you, Eldon "State censuses were taken in 1820, 1825, 1830, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1855, and 1865. Unfortunately only the 1820, 1855, and 1865 ones have survived reasonably intact. Most of the county returns for 1825, 1830, 1835, and 1845 are missing and nearly half of the 1840 state census has been lost."
