The population of Tishomingo county, according to the governement census of 1840, was 6,681. As this census was taken four years after the organization of the county, it is reasonable to suppose that there were not over 5,000 people in the county on the 15th of February, 1830, the date the county was created. As the area of the county was 923,040 acres, or 1,286 square miles, to pro rate the land, even in 1840, would have over 700 acres to every man, woman, and child in the county.
