I recently learned of the existence of some supplements to the Census that
provide social statistics.  In particular, for the years 1850 to 1880,
there supposedly are schedules that include listings of:

--- All municipal cemeteries, regardless of whether they were active
or closed (along with addresses and maps)
--- Churches in the county with a brief history, denomination
description, and membership figures
--- Lodges, trade groups, clubs, and other social organizations,
complete with addresses, officers' names, membership figures, and
financial information.

Did the State of Virginia gather this information as well?  Has anyone
looked at these schedules for the county of Mecklenburg?

thanks,
Jonathan Taylor
