1900 Hinds County MS Census
Page 1a and part of 1b
Many thanks to Danyelle Fletcher
for transcribing and contributing this census!
March 17, 2005
 

Danyelle is in the process of transcribing now,
but tells me it's a slow process...

Note from Danyelle: Unfortunately, parts of pg. 1A are really hard to read, so I had to leave out some names.  I think some of the surnames I wasn't able to get info for were Hailey and Pool.
The surnames on the page and a half of this are: Cabiness, Coleman, Sharp, Whitaker, Sosby, Freeman, Pryer, Trimble, Johnson, Trotter, Hutchins, Wist, Pettigrew, McArthur, Morrison
