The earliest federal census with population information for Texas is 1850 which was taken shortly after it became a state in 1845. There were some territorial records from 1829 to 1836 which were published in The First Census of Texas, 1829-1836, National Genealogical Society Special Publication 22, by Marion Day Mullins (Washington: National Genealogical Society, 1976). I am not sure how complete these records are. You can see the records used for the databases on line. It has no Clover entries in it. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txjacks2/Index_First_Census.htm#C
Marion Day Mullins, Republic of Texas: 1846 Poll Lists, (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1974). There is no comment in the book as to which counties were included. The statement was made that by 1846 there were 67 county governments in existence. This statement may mean that all of these 67 were included. This book is a list of polls. Poll in this case has nothing to do with voting. Poll is used to refer to a person who owed tax. In other areas, I have seen this called a head tax. A poll tax of $1 was applied to every white male resident over 21 and women who were head of households. These were mostly widows.
