The fourth federal census, taken in 1820, is the earliest census for the Volunteer State for which enumerations of most counties survive, although several eastern Tennessee counties are missing even from this census. Overall, this is an alphabetical index to 35,000 heads of households, with reference to the individual's county of residence and the page number of the census schedule wherein full data on the household and its occupants may be found.
