1850 and 1860 Slave Schedules

Legg inn av carlhuval » 26 sep 2004 04:54:01

Hello:
Does anyone know how to access the Slave Schedules on line? It does not
seem possible from Heritage Quest----or have I overlooked something? Is it
available anywhere else?

These are so spare, information-wise, that few places spend their money
on digitizing them. You best bet are (1) the People of Color site
(free, and no I don't know the URL) or (2) the county's GenWeb page
http://www.usgenweb.org/?? where ?? is the two letter postal code for the
state, and drill down to the appropriate county.

For the non-southerners (g) -- the slave schedules were supposed to list
the name of the slave holder followed by an individual, but nameless,
enumeration of the slaves (female, 19, mulatto; male 24, octroon; male
84, black). SOME enumerators did group head-counts (females, 5 black, 4
mulatto; males, 4 mulatto, 3 black), and a very rare few listed the
slaves by name, age, and race. The slave schedules also only exist for
the states that would become the Confederacy.

There's at least one exception to this. I've seen slave schedules for
Kentucky, which remained in the Union.

Cheryl and Group:

Thanks very much for the information.

It is true that the Slave Schedules provide very little data in terms of
genealogical information. Still, it does locate the large slaveholders, and
since some newly freed slaves took on the owners's surname, it does help in
locating where the newly freed slaves might have come from. Also the number
of slaves provides a good measure of the prosperity of the slaveholders.

I have used the 1850 slave sched for Washington Co. MS that I found on

Ancestry. You must go to 1850, state, county and then you see the choice of
schedules. No indexes. Apparently not all of the slave schedules (or other
census data for that matter) survived the civil war since they were not all
sent to the U.S. government before hostilities began.

Thanks very much Lorenzo. I do not have access to Ancestry. So could you
check for Joseph FENET and Daniel HEARON (or other FENETs and HEARONs) in
Lowndes County, Mississippi? This would be for the 1850 and 1860 Census
Slave Schedules.

I will appreciate any help!
