FOREWARD: Since this year, 1976, marks our nation's Bicentennial, the 200th anniversary of our country, the publication of this booklet is particularly timely. Mrs. Cambre's transcription of the 1840 U.S. Census for Livingston Parish demonstrates her concern for the preservation and dissemination of the history of Livingston Parish. By making available to all interested people in an easily obtainable form a listing of those people living in Livingston Parish in 1840, she is, of course, helping to record the history of the United States; because the national history is written by combining parish or county histories into state histories and state histories into national histories. Histories must be based on facts. There is no other enumeration of the inhabitants of a parish as complete, and reliable as the U.S. Census. This is particularly and most unfortunately true in Livingston Parish's case. Our parish courthouse was burned in October, 1875, destroying all the public records. Mrs. Cambre's 1840 Census of Livingston Parish, will help to fill the void left by the destruction of the parish courthouse and all records such as wills, land deeds, etc. Livingston was created by the state legislature in 1832, from the southern portion of St. Helena Parish which had been established in 1810. Incidentally, St. Helena Parish records are complete from 1810 to the present. At the time of the 1840 Census, Livingston occupied the area between the Amite River on the west and the Tangipahoa River on the east. The present boundary line between St. Helena and Livingston, Township 5 South, served as the northern boundary and the Amite River and Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain were the southern boundaries. This are, of course, in- cluded the towns of Hammond, Natalbany, Ponchatoula and Tickfaw, which are now in Tangipahoa Parish as a result of its creation in 1869, from portions of Livingston, St. Helena, Washington, and St. Tammany Parishes. It was not until 1850, that the area known as Maurepas Island, was annexed to Livingston from Ascension Parish by the State Legislature.
