1850 Mortality Schedule
Federal mortality schedules were taken every ten years as
part of the census enumerations usually starting in 1850. They
listed the details for persons who died 12 months prior to
taking the census itself - usually starting with June 1.
Unfortunately, not all the deaths for that time frame or even
for that area were recorded by the enumerator. However it does
provide some death record information before various states
began recording vital statistics.
