We have used three sources to verify the actual images; the SK Publications book, the images from Ancestry.com and the images from Heritage Quest Online through Genealogy.com. We believe this Census has been ranscribed as best as possible given the documents we had to work with. Only the images from Ancestry showed the final unumbered page which included the 33 Free Colored persons in Jefferson County at that time. Because these 33 people were listed on the last numbered page of 59A in the final count of the County, we have added these names to the end of the Census. Janice Stevens Rice and Ann Allen Geoghegan The following is written at the top of the first page: The number of persons within my Division consisting of 6822 persons appears in a schedule hereunto annexed, subscribed by me, this first day of January in the year one thousand, eight hundred and twenty-one. Charles H. Gordon, Assistant to the Marshall of the State of Mississippi (Begin Census)
