Cemeteries
Review a working list of cemeteries
in Williamson County. These cemeteries, and those interred, appear in
a four volume set of unpublished books produced by the Williamson County
Historical Commission. On May 6, 1999, the Commission granted me
permission to put them online at this web site. This will be a major data
entry project. As information from each cemetery is completed it will be
posted. (currently contains 14,141 burials in 43
cemeteries)
Census Data
The Free Inhabitants and Slave Schedules for the 1850
Census for Williamson County are available here. Four different files
provide data: in order of enumeration; alphabetically; by place of birth; for
Slave Schedules.

These records were kept by a Taylor area doctor and transcribed by seventeen

assistance of their teacher Margaret Blanton.. If these records prove helpful
in your research, let the
students of McNeil High School hear from you! .... (More information about records.)
