Index for the 1820 Federal Census for Monroe County, Illinois
************************************************************
This is the index for the 1820 Federal Census for Monroe County, Illinois

 to be used to locate which Census image/s you are interested in. In 1820, 

only the head of the households were listed (First Name, Surname). Following 

the head of households were the number of Free White Persons (Males and 

Females) Slaves (Males and Females), and Free Colored Persons (Males and 

Females).  The names and letters are my interpretation of what this writing 

showed and what they "appear to be" -- the handwriting is very very bad in 

places and sometimes so faint or illegible it is next to impossible to read. Also, 

some names might have question marks (??) or a ? mark where a letter should 

be that is because I could not discern the letter. Thus, I suggest you consider 

different variations of the surname. I hope this helps fellow researchers. If anyone 

finds a mistake, please contact Monroe County site and they will contact the 

contributor. As a side note, Illinois became the 21st state on December 3, 1818; 

therefore, the 1820 Federal Census was the first Census taken in the State of 

Illinois. Another interesting fact about the 1820 Federal Census is this was the 

last Census form written by hand instead of printed.
