The 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1885 censuses included inquiries about persons who had died in the twelve months immediately preceding the enumeration. The 1850, 1960, 1870, and 1880 mortality census for Alabama all survived. Mortality schedules list deaths from 1 June through 31 May of 1849–50, 1859–60, 1869–70, 1879–80, and 1884–85. They provide nationwide, state-by-state death registers that predate the recording of vital statistics in most states. While deaths are under-reported, the mortality schedules remain an invaluable source of information.
These 409 people were identified as Indians (I) in column 6 (color) of the 1860 census for Mason County Michigan. In order to have been enumerated they are believed to have renounced tribal rule, and under state law, exercised their rights as citizens.
The 1860 census for the Creek Nation, located west of Arkansas, reveals a diverse array of free inhabitants, including Native Americans from Creek and Seminole tribes. This listing indicates that many individuals either renounced their tribal affiliations or were never granted citizenship. Several entries mark those who married Native individuals but were still denied citizenship, suggesting a complex social structure within the community. The presence of individuals identified by racial categories reflects the intricate interplay of identities during this period.

Subsequent censuses continued to attempt comprehensive counts, with the 1860 census reporting a total of 339,491 Indians, and by 1870, the count was about 383,712, with many figures still being estimated. The 1890 census established a population of 248,253, delineating taxed and untaxed Indians while highlighting their conditions and locations.
