There are quadrennial enumerations taken every four years from 1803 to 1911 to determine voting districts. These include males (white only prior to 1863) over twenty-one years of age residing in a county, showing address, race, occupation, and whether a freeholder of land.

This repository also holds “enumerations of school-aged youth” for selected years and counties. Contact the society for details.
