1840 Census Index
Peoria County, Illinois



Transcribed by: Candi Horton, 2006, Peoria County, ILTrails History and Genealogy
Extra Precinct information by: Steve Slaughter

The 1840 census lists only the names for head of household and the name and age of revolutionary military pensioners, residing there. Numbers enumerated all other members in the household.
Listed here will only be the names of head of household and pensioners data.






The same name may show up in other precincts this is not a mistake.
I did not change any spellings. Sometimes they used a 'p' for an 's' OR 'ps' for 'ss' . All names are as they appeared.
My marks are:
[In here means looks like] My guesses
---- these marks mean I can't make it out.

Please consult the original census.
