Yes, I would. Many of my ancestors did not live in town because they
were farmers. If the smallest census jurisdiction at a given time was
"Precinct J" or "District 4", then that is what I input. Folks can stay
put while county and other boundaries change.

Thanks, Dawn, for your response. What I'm asking specifically is what
to put in the location field, which will ultimately end up in the
Location Master List. I do record all information in the "Notes"
field. Would you put "Civil District 4, Rhea County, TN, USA" in the
Location field for a Census event? I'd like to make sure that I'm not
causing problems for myself in the future.

I record whatever the census says, even if it's "district 4".

I rely heavily on census records in my individual records. For those
of you who transcribe such records, how do you handle locations where
towns/townships are not listed? I am tempted to use things like,
"District 4, Rhea County, TN, USA", but aside from personal
preference, is there a standard approach?
