This contained information not found on the population schedule, such as the person's age and who they were living with. Publishing of these returns was authorized by an act of Congress in 1841, printers were Blair & Rives, Washington, D.C. The book groups the names by the town where they lived. This transcription lists them in alphabetical order. Town names are included as an aid to researchers. This schedule lists a number of women, who were likely widows who were collecting their late husband's pension. ===================================================================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1840 STATE: Mississippi COUNTY: Statewide MICROFILM#: M704- DISTRICT: All ENUMERATOR: Not written ===================================================================================================================================== Name of Pensioner Whom Living With TOWN OR PAGE LN# LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE LAST NAME FIRST NAME COUNTY TOWNSHIP TRANSCRIBER REMARKS ===================================================================================================================================== 150 15 Adams David 79 Adams David Monroe .
