Free Colored People in the
1840 Mercer County, KY Census
This information was transcribed and
submitted by Belva Seaberry and Kimberly Lewis.
Names were taken from actual 1840 census pages.

spelling were found in the index when checked against
handwriting in other entries.
Only heads of households were named in the 1840 census.
White heads of household names are in italics.
