Can someone please enlighten me as to how to search for a person in the 1820 census in Montgomery County when that county did not exist at that time? I see that it would have been in the Wabash New Purchase area as of 1820, but I cannot find that district in the list of counties in the 1820 census on archive.org. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Susan in southeastern PA Working on Beadle/Beedle moving west from Berks Co, PA (ca 1777) to Wingate, Montgomery Co., IN (as of 1826)

Susan - there were really no whites here - just a few, small Miami Indian bands - no land was owned by whites until December 1822 - not sure that answers your question but basically the reason there was no census was because no whites were here to count On 2/21/2014 10:07 PM, Susan Caughlan wrote: > Can someone please enlighten me as to how to search for a person in > the 1820 census in Montgomery County when that county did not exist > at that time?
