Note to Researcher:
About the Ohio Quadrennial Enumerations - Quadrennial Enumeration provides a population count for each county. The count was used for dividing the counties into election districts to provide representatives for the Ohio General Assembly.

The Lawrence County, Ohio Quadrennial Enumeration returns include 1891, 1895, 1899, 1903, and 1907. For 1891 the population record for all the townships was compiled in a single volume. The other years were recorded with individual volumes by township, or in large townships, by precinct.

There is a target at the beginning of each volume stating the township name precinct (if any), followed by the year of the enumeration.

The record contains the name of every male over twenty-one, his race, occupation, and whether he was a freeholder of land in the county. The volumes are arranged alphabetically by township, numerically by ward, and therein alphabetically.
