Wayne and this is the information they had: STATE CENSUS RECORDS, by Ann S. Lainhart, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. (pp.40-4l)...The Census of Indiana Territory for l807 was published by the Indiana Historical Society (l980). It is a facsimile of the original manuscripts of Knox, Dearborn, and Randolph counties. The original for Clark County has not been found and in its place the Society used an l807 voters list. They also added a poll list of Kaskaskia (Randolph County). The Indiana Constitution of l85l stipulated that an enumeration be made every six years of all the white male inhabitants over the age of twenty-one years. This requirement was first carried out in l853 with each township assessor collecting the names of white male inhabitants and filing the list with the county auditor. In l865 the procedure was modified to include the age of each white male and in l877 the law was amended to include a separate list of negro males over the age of twenty-one years. The revised edition of Ancestry's Red Book, after citing the l807 territorial census, says "No other state census exist, although state enumerations of males (without names) above age twenty-one were taken at various intervals beginning in l820". This may be true for some counties, but the l853 census for Hendricks and Jennings counties, available at the FHL, clearly lists the names of every white male over twenty-one. These state censuses are not complete for every county and except for Hendricks and Jennings counties in l853, they are not available at the FHL. Some original censuses are located at: Indiana State Library l40 North Senate Avenue Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 The State Library has the following censuses: l857 - Hartford City, Blackford County l87l - Scattered townships, Blackford County l877 - Scattered townships, Blackford County, 5 townships of Fayette County l883 - Scattered townships, Blackford County l889 - Scattered townships, Blackford County l90l - Jackson township, Washington County l9l3 - Henry County l9l9 - Jackson township, Ripley County l93l - Henry County A series was produced in l940 by the Indiana Historical Records Survey called the INVENTORY OF THE COUNTY ARCHIVES OF INDIANA. Each county was given a volume, though not all counties were completed. This is probably the best source for determining which state censuses still exist for your county of interest. I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but hope it helps. My father passed away in California and I've been heart broken and preoccupied - so have taken longer than I intended to post this. Have a Blessed Day!!
