1850 U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedule

Mortality Schedules were part of the U.S. Federal Census for 1850-1880. They enumerated individuals who had died in the year previous to the census year. The schedule for Benton County contains given names only for infants, blacks and mulattos.  I have listed them here with the last above listed [surname] in case they were part of that household; but if the census taker did not note a change of household, those listings may not be correct.
