Mississippians in Texas

After my last post, someone asked me how many native Mississippians were in Texas by 1900. I decided to do it for each census year from 1850-1930 (except 1890 since all we have extant are some veterans schedules).

1850 - 6362
1860 - 19,929
1870 - 41,239
1880 - 61,703
1900 - 89,831
1910 - 86,356
1920 - 80,980
1930 - 45,287

It is interesting to note the decline in the 20th century. Most of the migration to Texas had already taken place so there were more "native Texans" from those Mississippians who had "GTT" (Gone To Texas) by that time.
