The following is a listing of persons who listed their occupation as minister or preacher on the 1880 Census for Bedford Co. TN. As with any transcriptions I am sure there are probably some mistakes whether in the transcription itself or in the information that was given to the census taker. Please consult the microfilm of the census for verification. One of my ancestors who was a minister did not list that as his occupation. On the census he listed his occupation as farmer. This page is meant to be used as a guide. --Marie
