1870 US Census Images of Amite County Mississippi The donation of the 1870 Amite County, Mississippi, Census images for permanent, free display in the USGenWeb Archives was made possible through the generosity of Nancy Waite and by the efforts of John Cain who was instrumental in the preparation of the images. These census images are not to be republished or redistributed without the permission of Nancy Waite. The 1870 Amite County, Mississippi, Census contains 277 pages (census images), numbered 0376a through 0514b. This numbering scheme uses the stamped number in the upper right hand corner of alternate pages rather than the "Page No. ___" in the upper left hand corner. This makes the images compatible with published census indices. Since only alternate pages were given stamped numbers, we use the suffix "a" and "b" to distinguish between pages. Ex: The first page is stamped 376 and the file is called 0376a. The following page has no stamp and is called 0376b. There were some pages out of sequence in the microfilm and were corrected when making the electronic images in order to maintain the dwelling# / Family# in sequence. The 41st and 42nd pages were reversed and page 42 was stamped 396. When numbering the images, the pages were put back in order and the 396 was removed from page 42 and placed on page 41. The same was true of the 289th / 290th page. The pages were placed back in order when numbering the images and the stamped number 490 was removed from page 229 and placed on 228. Page 0492b is a blank page here and in the microfilm. The name of each image file is the page number. The image file 00sample.jpg has some handwriting samples taken from these pages that might prove helpful. Here is a list of last name changes which show the differences between transcriber and proof readers. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page Line Transcriber Proof reader #1 376 a 22 H**L 376 b 24 Pasket 377 b 01 A**ua 377 b 21 Buchan Beecham 379 a 14 Bass Barr 379 a 20 Bass Barr 379 b 28 Daniel Dunn 382 a 27 Neal Neil 382 a 32 Sterling Stirling 383 a 26 Warrick Womack 383 a 40 ***** Sage 383 b 01 S*nac* Spriggs 383 b 32 Carrie Cain 393 b 08 Rouse Roane 394 a 05 Bouics Bomics 396 b 13 Wooten Wroten 398 a 29 Wrotine Wroten 401 a 31 Fichenor Tichenor 406 a 02 Treatham Trentham 408 a 07 Lowrey Downey 408 a 03 Keith Kreel 408 a 24 Keith Kreel 409 b 07 Dean Dear 409 b 27 Dean Dear 410 a 38 Gimore Simore 413 a 09 Bercegray Bercejay 415 b 06 Raisin Parsons 418 a 34 Illegible 419 a 21 Harnave Hamau* 420 b 12 Garner Quinn 420 b 18 Garner Quinn 421 a 36 Silas, Thomas Thomas, Silas 422 b 37 Hona Honea 423 a 13 C*ne Cline 423 b 37 Wooton Moaton 425 b 40 Barham Ba**** 427 b 01 Wilkes Miller 428 a 29 Knox Mot* 428 b 23 Mangrave Mangram 430 b 35 Nanl Naul 431 a 02 Hamlp Harness 431 a 06 Hamlp Harness 431 a 10 Hamlp Harness 434 a 16 Wood Word 436 a 09 Gilman Spilman 436 b 18-26 Sarah, Strange Strange, Sarah 439 b 30-38 Huietes Hunter 441 a 27 Havis Harris 442 a 36 Quinn ?????? 442 b 02 King String 442 b 09 Carter Caster 442 b 19-21 Carter Caster 450 a 08 Dewitt Devault 451 a 07 Gayselo Gaynes 452 b 37 Graham Goslin 461 b 42 Caston Carter 463 a 16 Rogers Poyner Page Line Transcriber Proof reader #2 466a 34 Longmire Longsmire 472a 23-25 *ismton Swinton 472b 22-24 Falles Fuller 472b 39,40 Ramsey Ramsy 473a 1-3 Ramsey Ramsy 478b 5-12 Carver Conner 479b 12-16 Spian Spears 481a 39 Shak Sha* 491a 31-34 Flaker Fluker 493a 40 Love Lov 493b 1-4 Love Lov 493b 20 Perris P***s 496b 38-40 Carter Cart*es 497a 1 Carter Cart*es 501a 35-37 Parrish P*rrish 502a 13-18 Dixon Dupree 506a 27,28 Loflin Laflin 506a 22,23 Kinda Kineda 508b 35-40 Kennebrew Kinnabrew 510a 12,13 Gaulher Gauther 510a 32 Henderson Herndon 514a 11-13 Luxenberg Lurenberg
