Rod, Becky and others interested in this subject,
I think Rod is asking about censuses done by the state of Indiana, not
Federal Censuses. This is information I have collected on that subject and
have it with other information on a webpage at:
http://www.netusa1.net/~beheler/INrsrch.html
The Indiana constitution of 1851 stipulated that an enumeration, of white
males over age 21, be done every 6 years. The first was done in 1853 with
modifications in 1865 and again in 1877 [to include a listing of negro
males over age 21]. These state censuses are NOT complete for every county
and except for Hendricks and Jennings counties in 1853, they are not
available at the FHL. Some original censuses are located at the Indiana
State Library as follows:
1857: Hartford City, Blackford County
1871: Scattered Twp, Blackford County
1877: Scattered Twp, Blackford County
1877: Five Twp., Fayette County
1883: Scattered Twp., Blackford County
1889: Scattered Twp., Blackford County
1901:Jackson twp., Washington County
1913: Henry County
1919: Jackson Twp., Ripley County
1919: Center Twp., Starke County
1931: Henry County
There may be some scattered counties that have copies of the old state
census data: You could check the various volumes titled Inventory of The
County Archives of __________ County, Indiana This series was done in 1940
for most counties by the WPA. One for every county in Indiana is available
at the Allen Co. Public Library

I believe that alll of the state's census should have been done. The
place you
should be able to find them would be libraries. We have the
complete set for Indiana at the Kokomo Howard County Public Library as well
as some of the other states.
