A special thanks to Tommy Covington and the Tippah County Historical and Genealogical Society for allowing us to publish this transcribed version of the 1870Tippah County Federal Census, and to W. Fred Cox for getting them ready to go online.  As with any transcribed record if you question the contents please verify the information with the original documents.  If the error is documented wrong by the transcriber please contact me and I will gladly correct it in this transcription.

Notes:

• The information is listed as follows; first name or intials, last name, age, sex, occupation, value of real estate, value of personal property, state of birth, and household number if they are living with another family or location.
• These census records were divided into East and West Tippah County and include the original boundaries of the County before reconstruction.  Ripley post office took the numeration for East Tippah, and covered the areas similar to the current county boundaries.  The numeration for West Tippah were taken at Salem, with similar boundaries to what is now Benton County.  Both Ripley and Salem includes some of what is now Union County.
• If the person you are researching has a number listed to the right side of their numeration, check the household index to find out where they were living at the time the census was taken.
• The household indexes were created after the census was transcribed and put into alphabetical order to link people living in households other than their own.
