to my knowledge the first census for the indian territory was in 1900. I could be wrong but, I have never seen one before that point since Ok. was not a state until 1907 the Ind. Terr. was not really a state. Parts of it was in other states though. -----Original Message----- From: Jacqui Marcella <JMarcela@pacbell.net> To: Indian-Territory-Roots-L@rootsweb.com <Indian-Territory-Roots-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, January 25, 1999 1:01 PM Subject: 1850 census >Can anyone tell me if there is a 1850 census and index for Indian >Territory?
