Johnson County, Tennessee DDD Schedules

The Dependent, Defective and Delinquent Schedules were taken only in 1880, separately from the 1880 US Census. However, they have household numbers (such as 20-24) that link the person shown on the schedule to the actual 1880 US Census. The enumeration was made of homeless children, deaf mutes, blind, insane, idiots, paupers and prisoners. The DDD Schedules for Johnson County, Tennessee were started in June of 1880. The numbers prior to a name are the household and enumeration numbers from the actual census.

The following information has been taken from microfilm of the schedules that is available through the Family History Library (LDS) on Roll # 1549482. Please note when using this that some county residents considered insane, etc. are not on these schedules.
