1850 Slave Schedule - Additional Information


When the Federal Census was taken in 1850, the boundaries of Kaufman County were different than they are today.  A northwestern portion of what is now Henderson County was then Kaufman County, plus there was additional confusion as to where the actual boundary line between the two counties was located, which led to some misenumerations.  This caused some Kaufman County residents (and their slaves) to be counted in the Henderson County 1850 Census.
Below is a list of Kaufman County residents who were incorrectly enumerated on the 1850 Henderson County Slave Schedule.  When checking the 1850 Census records for your Kaufman county ancestors, be sure to check the Henderson County census as well.

This Census Schedule was taken by James Harrison - Sept. 1850
