Based on a unique W.P.A. index to the 1860 Kansas territorial census, it lists 9,358 Kansans identified as having been born in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, or South Carolina. Information given on each person includes name, age, sex, occupation, and the volume and page number of the original census schedule, as well as an indication of the county, township, and post office of residence in Kansas.
