1850 Mortality Schedule

Federal census mortality schedules were a record of everyone who had died in the 12 months prior to the census month. In the 1850 U.S. federal census for Liberty County, Georgia, the mortality schedule included enslaved people, even though enslaved people were not listed in the census itself. The following list includes the first name and surname, age, gender, “color,” status (free or enslaved), place of birth, cause of death and month of death. It is presumed that the surname given is the surname of the enslaved person’s owner, as even if surnames were used by these enslaved people, it is unlikely the enumerator would have known them.
