1840 and 1850 Census Index Foreword

From: Venus Beaty Fillmore and Roland E. Tate, June 2007

Considering all of the workthat we, VenusFillmore andRoland Tate, have invested in this project, a note of introduction, explanation, and best wishes should be a piece of cake. She and I may disagree on some things but early on we agreed that our work should be available for the free use of all researchers interested inour area. In light of the boredom reduction policy now in effect, I will try to say as much as I can in as few words as I can.

Northeast Alabama was the last part of the State to be ceded to the United States by the Cherokees and it tookseveral yearsfor boundaries to be "finalized". We have included a basic county map for the area as it currently is and with a couple of early variations for the DeKalbCounty boundaries. We have entered approximate Township and Range lines forming squares of about 36 square miles each. This isto assist infinding the general area in which the families were enumerated on the 1850 census.Matching the families of the 1840 census to the families of the 1850 census has been attempted in part but is not included here.

In 1818 Blount County, Alabama wasformed from the Cherokee Cession of 1816 and from MontgomeryCounty. Then in 1819, Jackson County Alabama was formed from the Cherokee Cession of 1816.Twenty years later, in 1836, Cherokee, DeKalb and MarshallCounties were formed from the Cherokee Cession of 1835 and in some cases parts of the adjacent counties. County formation and County boundary lines changed several times between 1836 and 1870.

In December of 1866 Baine County, Alabama wasorganized from portions of DeKalb, Marshall, Blount, Saint Clair, Calhoun, and Cherokee counties. DeKalb bordered St. Clair on the south at the time. Baine wasdiscontinued on 03 Dec 1867 then reestablished 01 Dec 1868 as EtowahCounty. This means that the 1840, 1850 and 1860 censuses for DeKalb did include most of present day EtowahCounty.I failed to consider this when Ijoined Venus on this project and I had to backtrack and rethink because of this oversight

In 1840, it was Solomon C. Newman who was the Marshall of the Northern District and in charge of the 1840 Census. As best as we have been able to determine, he was a brother of Moses C. Newman. The 1840 census has been a tough bit of transcription to make and it will likely differ greatly from some of the transcriptions of the past. The Heads of Households named by S. C. Newman on this census are almost everything but what they should be. We have used Land Patents, the 1850 census and the 1860 census in come cases and even gone to family files to determine what some of the names actually were. Headings for the 1840 Transcription, both the original order and the alphabetical entries are self-explanatory.

The 1850 Census Index included here is not an alphabetical index like the brief index posted online, but rather is an as occurs or in the order in which recorded sequence and includes the first names of the heads of households along with other names of interest within said households. We have used the earlier Bureau of Land Management Patents to locate the landowners of the census and have entered a Township and Range to place them within a general vicinity of 36 square miles.

Division 25 was the southern part of present day DeKalbCounty and included Townships 8 and 9 from MarshallCounty on the west to CherokeeCounty on the East. The first page of Division 25 is 326A and there are 93 pages Starts with M.C. Newman. Moses C Newman was the enumerator for Civil Division 25 which starts with Family No. 1, (himself) on the 25th day of October 1850 and has 93 pages ending with Page 372A on 16 Dec 1850 with Family 634. Moses had a tolerably good and understandable handwriting. Something that I did notice in the 1850 census is that while more than one family was found in a number of homes, all persons within a Dwelling were considered as a single family. It might be good, at this point, to remind us that ages were supposedly computed to census day. In the years 1830 through 1900, census day was 01 June of the year taken regardless of the date actually taken. A person listed as age 31 in 1850 should have a birth date of between 02 June 1818 and 01 June 1819.

Here is a bit of an explanation and a refresher for some. Since I am doing this off the cuff, I hope that I am not causing confusion or writing any false or misleading information.

LONGITUDE is measured in degrees going from west to east for [360 degrees around the Earth]. East of GreenwichEngland for the first 180 degrees, it is considered positive latitude and would be designated 001 through 180. West of GreenwichEngland for the first 180 it is considered negative latitude and would be designated 001 through 180 degrees. One degree Longitude at our Latitude [FortPayne] is about 56.75 miles. Since Longitude is divided in slices from pole to pole, the distance is greatest at the Equator and decreases as we head towards either Pole. The Huntsville Meridian is just about (-) 86.6 degrees west Longitude and this is the Meridian from which we measure our Ranges, which are all east of Huntsville.

LATITUDE is measured from the Equator in degrees north or degrees south from 0 degrees to 180 degrees at the poles. One degree Latitude is about 70 miles and the Alabama / Tennessee Line is very nearly on the 35-degree north parallel. It is from here that we measure our Townships in 6 mile segments starting with Township 1 South and proceeding through Township 9 South so that the southernmost part of DeKalb is about 54 miles south of The Tennessee Line. Present day DeKalbCounty starts about 8.75 miles south of the Tennessee line at County Line Creek.

A Township is a designated piece of land lying between two vertical Range lines (at points east or west from a given meridian) about 6 miles apart and two horizontal Township lines (at points north or south from a given latitude) about 6 miles apart. This then means that means that a Township is approximately 36 Square miles. This is broken into 36 Sections of about one square mile each and they are numbered starting in the northeast with 1 and proceeding through 6 in the northwest it then drops south to 7 and moves east to 12, drops down to 13 and proceeds back westward and continues to drop and reverse through the 36 sections. Each Section is broken into quarter’s sections of 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile containing about 160 acres each and this then is again broken into quarter/quarter sections of about 40 acres each. These are designated by directional quadrants as per the example: NWSE 10 / 8-S 8-E No Huntsville which tells us that this is a block of land about 1320 feet by 1320 feet which is about square and contains about 40 acres of land. It is the northwest 1/4 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 10 in Township 8 south of the degrees latitude near the Alabama / Tennessee Line and in Range 8 (48-54 miles) East of the Huntsville Meridian.

1826 Commissioners from Georgia and Alabama met at Fort Mitchell, Alabama (near present day Columbus, Ga.) to begin surveying the land to establish the Georgia-Alabama border from where the line left the ChattahoocheeRiver. Alabama commissioners soon abandoned the work; the Georgia team completed the survey. While there was some minor dispute over the surveying and validity of the line, Alabama finally ratified it in 1840.

The Alabama / Georgia State Line begins at a point about 1.57 miles west of the Range 9 to Range 10 East Line according to the USGS Topographical Map (Barton Hollow, USGS New Home (GA,AL,TN) Quadrant Topographical Map) this places the GA/AL/TN corner at the NW quarter of the NE quarter of Section 5 Township1 South Range 10 East of the Huntsville Meridian. Current maps of the commercial variety tend to ignore this and start at R9 to R10 corner. When you are a nitpicker like me, it throws a lot of things out of kilter.

1850 Census for District 24

Warner Lewis Driskill was the enumerator for the 1850 census of DeKalb Co., AL District 24 starting withpage 373Aon the 1st day ofNovember 1850 and concludingthe 26th day of December 1850 with 617 families and on page 418B. His script could be confusing: Capital L and Capital S are virtually identical and his capital T could easily be confused for an L or an S. I believe that he or one of his assistants sometimes heard names starting with an S as having started with a T as in the case of Tims / Sims and Telethy / Selethy

W.L. DRISKILL 34 M, 340B was enumerated on Moses C. Newman's Division 25 census and it is likely that he still lived on his father's property which was the former community of Camden, the original DeKalb County Seat. William DRISKILL 63 M, 334B //DRISKILL, WILLIAM5/1/1845NW 25/ 8-S 7-E. This was a densely populated area at the time with a number of rental properties for a number of years. Camden retained its name on through the Civil War days. Before 1900 the area had become known as the Van Buren District and it is now considered to be part of Collinsville.This landis now the Payton Dairy Farm or a part thereof.
Daniel D.BURKLATTER 32 M, 403A //BURKHALTER, DANIEL B 4/10/1847 SWSW 15/3-S 10-E I double-checked all images and these transcriptions are correct as transcribed. Burkhalter bought 3 land patents and his name is consistent on the patent data. The census should read Daniel B. Burkhalter.
