Not only was it the first US Census to name all people in a household on the regular US Census, but this was the first time the Agricultural and Manufacturing Census was taken on a widespread basis. Although this second census names only head of household, often times when an individual was missed on the regular census, they would appear on either of these two census reports. Unfortunately, many of these Agricultural and Manufacturing Census records have not survived. But, those that did survive yield unique information about how people lived. Information includes: name of owner; improved acreage; unimproved acreage; cash value of the farm; value of farm implements and machinery; and value of livestock.

Part of southern DeKalb County was detached in 1868, along with parts of five other counties, to form Etowah County. Thanks to the efforts of Dorothy Duff, we now have the first comprehensive index to the marriage records of DeKalb County for the period 1836 to 1916. Mrs. Duff transcribed these marriages from the comprehensive marriage index housed at the DeKalb County Courthouse in Fort Payne, Alabama. The comprehensive index is itself based on official DeKalb County marriage books that form a portion of the Probate Court Records filed at the courthouse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the compiler chose to list every marriage alphabetically by bride \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e by groom, each of the 10,250 marriages (20,500 brides and grooms) appears twice. The marriages are arranged in tabular format, and for each we are given the names of both parties to the marriage, the date of the wedding, and a citation. Should they choose to do so, researchers can use the citations to consult the original marriage book in which the nuptuals were recorded, or, if unrecorded, the loose papers. Every entry in the official marriage books gives the names of the betrothed, the dates of the marriage bond, marriage license, and marriage certification.

This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now DeKalb County, Alabama, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the 1900s, some as late as the 2000s.
