My friends - Today, we are beginning a new series on Hickman County - the 1840 census population schedules. There were approximately 3000 person enumerated in Hickman County in 1840. If you see a name of interest, and you would like the full age enumerations for that household, let me know and I will get that information to you. As a reminder, the census records, until the year 1850, named only the head of each household, and the others living in that household were shown as stroke marks in columns representing various age groups. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. We have had four new subscribers join this List over the past day or two, and I want to welcome them, and invite them to post their research needs in the 8 counties of the KY Jackson Purchase region here to the List, with the hope that we can be of help in their quest. I also invite them to peruse the JP Images web site(the URL is in the Welcome Message), as well as the searchable JP List Archives, which can be found here: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L Again, welcome. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hickman County - 1840 Census - Heads of Households - Part 1 Garrison, N.M.
