Note: This census index was prepared using the 1870 Mississippi, Oktibbeha County, Beat 4, Whitefield P.O. Census (Microfilm Roll M593-744). It lists the Head-of-Household and those in the households containing another surname. It is indexed by surname, first name and census page number. I have also added the occupation if it was other than: farmer, farm laborer, keeping house, attending school, at home, domestic servant, house servant and no occupation. Typically, if the head of household owned his own land, he was a farmer. All others were farm laborers. The wife or woman of the household was usually listed as 'keeping house'. The children were typically farm laborers, domestic servants, cooks and attending school. Almost all the children under 10 years of age were listed as 'at home' or left blank for occupation. Both the well-to-do and those earning modest wages, both black and white, had children attending school. Many of the well-to-do white families who had children over 10 years of age had 'no occupation' listed for them or they were 'at home'. Most black families who had children over 10 were listed as 'farm laborers' in their parents' household or 'domestic servants' in the homes they worked in. In this census, there were also two sons in their twenties listed as artists, as well as a young shoemaker. The other non-typical occupations are listed below. In addition to the few physicians listed, there were about three other young men, living in their father's households who were listed as physicians.
