In 1982 the Carnegie Library sponsored another "write-in stories" and compiled them into a  book called Family Profiles 1840-1900 Marion County, Texas (I think there is more than one volume).  These are interesting stories with good info about the more prominent people of Marion County.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS 1850 CENSUS & CONSORTS - Helen Swenson - 73 pages - soft cover - indexed - map of Texas 1850 - 8.5 x 11 - copyright 1981 Frances Terry Ingmire & Helen Smothers Swenson. In addition to the 1850 annotated census, there are collections of letters and individual family information sheets. This really gives a much fuller picture of the families of Jefferson County, Texas than others sources.

We would like to thank Nita Cawthon for helping to compile this list of books!
