Census Perry Co

There are many different types of census records that have been created. The most familiar are the federal population census records. Lesser known census records include the federal non-population census schedules, mortality schedules, and various state records. Perry County was created in 1818 from Hickman County, so therefore we start with records after that date.

If you see that I have no link and the row is blank, then there is no known free online transcription of that census. If you have access to census records and are interested in transcribing a census for Perry County, or even one district of a census, please contact Jan Monnin, your Perry County TnGenWeb coordinator.
