looking for state census of indiana for these years in monroe county indiana. do you no if state library has them? There were State census's in Indiana in 1853, 1856, 1857, 1859, 1866, 1871, & 1877 do you have these census?
I saw Bill Dollarhide speak on State Censuses about 2 weeks ago. For all of IN he wrote this on his handout: Indiana: 1807 territorial. No state. Tax lists provide substititues. He did write a census book (I think it's called "The Census Book.") Perhaps there's more info in there. In "State Censuses" prepared by Henry J. Dubester, Washington D.C., 1948 (reprinted in 1990) I could find no references to state censuses for IN. In "State Census Records," by Ann S. Lainhart, pp. 40-41 does give some history of the IN state censuses and what exists. It says that they are NOT complete for every county EXCEPT Hendricks and Jennings in 1853. They are at the state library in Indianapolis. She lists: 1857: Hartford City, Blackford Co. 1871: Scattered twps, Blackford Co. 1877: Scattered twps, Blackford Co. Five twps of Fayette Co. 1883: Scattered twps, Blackford Co. 1889: Scattered twps, Blackford Co. 1901: Jackson twp, Washington Co. 1913: Henry Co. 1919: Jackson twp, Ripley Co. Center twp, Starke Co. 1931: Henry Co. Then she said to check "Inventory of the County Archives of Indiana," to see what exists for your county. You might try there.
