Perry county is another one that has a couple of sites - one connected to the Indiana GenWeb Project, and one by Judith Murphy. Judith's seems to have more info, but it also has tons of irritating advertising.
de la Hunt's History of Perry County has been put online by Judith Murphy. The index, done by Steve Meyer, is complete only up to letter J for now - available here.
Census transcriptions available at Judith Murphy's site (this is the main page - you have to scroll down past a lot of advertising to get to the actual links): 1820, 1830 (partial), 1850 (partial), 1860 (partial), 1880 (partial), 1900 (partial) - she is working on completing these - she did her own family first and then tried to do people married within the year, and so forth. (She is apparently like me, unable to NOT skip around.)
