The 1820 census is missing for the county of Daviess, and the 1870 & 1910 censuses are currently unindexed. It is also noted that many rural residents were missed in the 1850 census, though appear on the 1850 agricultural enumerations. An 1807 territorial census exists and has been published, as has one for 1810 (for Harrison County only). Few state censuses are available. >> Thanks for the Facts Sheet. Does anyone have any idea where a copy of this 1807 Territorial Census can be found? I had ancestors in the area at this time and I would appreciate any information on this document!

But, what good is it - unless it’s true? We need stories and rumors, they are great and often lead to the truth! BUT - Help eliminate errors. Don't take anything as Fact! Check references for validity! If we don’t our children’s children will be led down false trails and they will never be able to find their true heritage.
