U.S. FEDERAL CENSUS MORTALITY SCHEDULES, 1850-1880 (Update adding District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas Territory, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana Territory, Nebraska, Nebraska Territory, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington Territory)

Part of the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1850-1880 included a mortality schedule enumerating the individuals who had died in the previous year. Because each of the censuses from 1850-1880 began on June 1, "previous year" refers to the 12 months preceding June 1, or June 1 (of the previous year) to May 31 (of the census year).
This database contains an index to all individuals enumerated in these mortality schedules. In addition, each individual is linked to the census image on which they appear. Not all information that is recorded on the actual census is included in the index.
Therefore, it is important that you view the image on which your ancestor is recorded to obtain all possible information about him/her.

Currently, there are schedules available for the following states:
Arizona, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas Territory, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana Territory, Nebraska, Nebraska Territory, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah Territory, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington Territory)

It includes a list of 22,000 merchants and traders of the London area, a list of London and country newspapers, lists of army and navy agents' directors, general information relating to the post office, as well as other items of miscellaneous matter.
