The 1920 Census for Militia District 431

The 1920 Census for Militia District 431, District 12, Ft. Gaines, Clay Co, Town,
enumerated on 02 Jan. 1920 by A. W. Quillian, Jr. enumerator.

Note: When I was unsure of the spelling of the name I put a question mark (?) beside it. If you see any mistakes or know the correct names for the people in question please contact the Clay Co. website manager. Further there are many pages with unreadable or illegible entries.

Note: The enumerator made a mistake when taking this census. He wrote down the town or county on the birthplaces on the first 20 pages of this 25-page enumeration. He then realized his mistake and went back and scribbled over the city or county names. I tried to write them here but it is very hard and time consuming. If you want to look at this information check the original census pages. Some of the names can still be made out.
