Utah 1850/1851 Mortality Schedule
Davis
County Residents
What is a "mortality schedule"? When a census was taken, the enumerators were to collect information on all persons who had died during the previous 12 months. This information is included on a mortality schedule.
The 1850 U.S. Census was to be taken on 18 June 1850. Since Utah didn't receive official word until January, 1851 that the Territory of Utah had been organized by Congress, the Utah Census was taken prior to 1 July 1851.
Enumerators of early census's were not known for their meticulous records. Errors and omissions were fairly common. If a person was listed, it was likely they belonged there, but if a person was not listed, the possibility remains that they were missed.
