The 1850 mortality census recorded people who had died during the year ending 1st of June, 1850. Most of the counties are in alphabetical order but Clark is listed at the very bottom. I have done the best I could but some counties were harder to read then others, I don't know if it is because of the actual census or of the copy of microfilm I purchased. Remember, mistakes can be made!! Enjoy!
