I decided I needed a starting point for tracing my family in Texas so I chose the 1850 Census as a benchmark. 1850 was the first FEDERAL Census of Texas and the first census to include names and ages for all members of the household. From this point I can look both forward and back, to determine the migration patterns of my particular ancestors. I hope this information can aid someone else in tracing their families also. Information on maiden names of spouses, death dates, etc. was obtained from vital records filed in various states or family information. **************************************************************************** 1850 Census Data of BERRY Individuals in Texas Free Schedules ID # Name Age Sex State Spouse Parent County 12 (Berry) Permelia 29 f MS Anderson 12a Berry Elizabeth 8 f TX Permelia (Berry) Anderson 13 Berry Thomas 30 m AL Allen/Ellen?
