Series 105: Educable Children Lists. 1850-1894. Secretary of State (RG 28)

Lists of school age children prepared by the county and filed with the Secretary of State. The 1850 and 1851 lists include only the head of the household and the number of white or free black children by male or female. The 1878 lists include the name of the child, age, sex, race, and election district or ward. The 1879 and 1880 lists do not have the election district/ward information. The 1885 lists add the name of the parent or guardian. The 1892 lists add the street and house number (where recorded), but are divided by race within each township and range. No schools are listed in any of the lists.
