1860 US Census Images of Amite County Mississippi The donation of the 1860 Amite County, Mississippi, Census images for permanent, free display in the USGenWeb Archives was made possible through the generosity of Nancy Waite . These census images are not to be republished or redistributed without the permission of Nancy Waite. The 1860 Amite County, Mississippi, Census contains 111 pages (census images), numbered 0149 through 0259. This makes the images compatible with published census indices. These images were copied at the FHC using the original census microfilm. The tops of the pages are somewhat clipped in order to get the full 40 lines of the census on the page. Before scanning, these same pages were used to transcribe the census and that is the reason for some notes and "dogears" on the pages.
