| Benton, MO | 37.100 | -89.567 | The earthquake on the 4th inst. was felt with peculiar violence at Benton, Missouri, where it shook the town about half past nine in the evening. About the hour above attended to, a trembling of the earth, preceded by a rumbling noise like that of distant artillery, was succeeded by a rocking sufficient to jar the doors and windows and shake the houses, as was evident by the consternation of many who witnessed the effects of the earthquake. |

| Brownsville, TN | 35.583 | -89.250 | Our village was thrown into a fearful commotion by the visitation of one of those tremblings of the earth so common in this region. For the space of ten or fifteen seconds the earth rocked violently, causing many of the largest buildings to totter on their foundation, and threatening every moment to topple in ruins. Many buildings were deserted by the frightened inmates, who, with wild and haggard looks rushed simultaneously towards the public square for safety. Our printing office, in which we were at work at the time, was shaken with extreme violence, so much so that, for fear of being buried in its ruins, we fled into the open street, where it was with difficulty we could maintain a standing position. It was accompanied with a roaring noise similar to that caused by many wagons passing over a bridge, and continued for the space of six or seven minutes. The noise came apparently from the north and passed off towards the south, the dying sound resembling the reverberating tones of distant thunder. We have heard of no serious damage, though many of the buildings in the block on the west side of the Square were cracked and broken, and in one or two instances the tops dislodged and thrown to the ground. |

| Florence, AL | 34.800 | -87.677 | The Shock of an Earthquake was sensibly felt throughout our town. We were sitting by the fire in company with two or three friends when suddenly the walls of the building began to tremble as though their foundation were giving way — without all was unusually calm and still. The shock, we think, lasted about one minute. “No material damage except falling bricks from 1–2 old chimneys.” | KP1/16; IV | IV |

The shaking lasted some 15 or 20 seconds, and was of sufficient force to cause considerable agitation of crockery and glassware. | SP1/17; IV | NA |
| Griffin, GA | 33.250 | -84.283 | We had a small sample of an earthquake in this section on Wednesday night last and Thursday morning, one about nine o'clock and the other between 3 and 4 in the morning. So say the others, we did not notice them, and think that they were no great shakes for an earthquake. | SR1/11; II | III |

| Hernando, MS | 34.833 | -90.000 | In our town, on Wednesday evening last, a few minutes before 9 o'clock, a very large meteor, or comet, was seen to illuminate the West, which disappeared in a few minutes — this was succeeded by most severe rocking and quaking of the earth, which has happened within the experience of our oldest citizens. The shaking of the earth was sufficiently hard to make it difficult to stand still. Horses were “brought upstanding,” in which position they remained despite the exertions of their houses to the contrary, until the quaking had ceased. The citizens poured out of their houses, believing they would “tumble in,” and amid the alarm cry of the women, and the screams of children, was heard the stentorian sound of Miller! Miller! Miller. | H2012; IV-V | V |
| Hillsboro, OH | 39.183 | -83.620 | Not reported. | H2012; I | N |
| Holly Springs, MS | 34.783 | -89.383 | The severest earthquake within the recollection of our oldest citizens, was felt here on last Wednesday night, about 9 o'clock. It lasted one minute, or perhaps longer, and was hard enough to knock a quantity of our type into pi. We heard of several ladies fainting, and many gentlemen were very much frightened. | H2012; V | V |

| Jackson, TN | 35.617 | -88.833 | A very violent earthquake occurred here on Wednesday last, about half past eight o'clock, lasting some two or three minutes. Several chimneys were thrown down, and a large portion of the ceiling plaster of the court house. We have been informed by an old citizen that he considers the shocks to have been equal to those of 1811, which were so very violent in region of New Madrid. … This is the third shock we have felt this winter. | H2012; VI-VII | VII |
| Jackson, MS | 32.333 | -90.183 | The citizens of Vicksburg and Jackson, in Mississippi, were quite frightened on last Wednesday, by the shaking of houses, rattling of windows and breaking of glasses caused by an earthquake. No great harm was done, with the exception of scaring terribly those who believe in the prophecies of Parson Miller. | H2012; V | IV-V |
| Jacksonport, AR | 35.642 | -91.309 | We were thrown into great consternation tonight, by the shock of an earthquake. It came from the east, with a roaring noise, and our house rocked to and fro the same as if we had been on rough water. It passed off westwardly — lasting some ten to fifteen seconds. This is the second shock we have been troubled with this fall. We had one about two months ago in the middle of the day. I expect you may have felt the one this evening as it was strong enough to have reached your city. It has knocked some brick off the top of the Steam Mill Chimney. | H2012; V | VI |

| Little Rock, AR | 34.746 | -92.289 | A quaking of the earth was very sensibly felt here, attended by the rattling of windows, glasses, and cupboards, and the creaking of our wooden houses. … The shaking of the earth in this instance seemed to indicate a vibratory motion from N.E. to S.W., and continued for about the space of one minute. | H2012; IV | IV |
| Livingston, AL | 32.584 | -88.187 | Time noted. | PL1/24; F | NA |
| Louisville, KY | 38.250 | -85.75 | It occurred about five or six minutes after nine o'clock, lasting about a minute, and manifesting itself by jostling candle sticks, centre-tables and sideboards: setting broomsticks to prancing … and rocking chairs to galloping. … [We were] wholly unconscious of the … [earthquake] until we were told of it yesterday morning. … We are informed that a low rumbling noise accompanied the shock. | H2012; IV | III-V |

| Memphis, TN | 35.117 | -90.083 | It was preceded and accompanied with a rumbling sound, as of rumbling thunder. Opinions are various as to that period of duration — some supposing half a minute, and some as much as two minutes — but all agree that it was a rather alarming affair, and by far the severest since 1811. But little damage has been done to buildings. The coping of some chimneys has been removed, and we have heard of the prostration of a cotton shed. | H2012; VI | VI-VII |
| Mills Point, KY | 36.550 | -89.167 | That Earthquake — The rumor is, as brought by the Chieftain, that at Mill's Point, Ky., dishes, clocks, and chimneys and weak walls were thrown down. Another rumor says that some portions of the earth was sunk at New Madrid. | NYT1/16; VII | VII |
| Miss. River 1 Above Memphis | Below New Madrid reported as more severe than any shock since 1811. | H2012; F | V | ||

| Murfreesboro, TN | 35.850 | -86.400 | Felt. | CD2/4; SF | F |
| Nashville, TN | 36.166 | -86.784 | There was a very evident shaking or trembling of the earth at Nashville and vicinity on Wednesday night about nine o'clock. The rumbling noise that accompanied the shock was not unlike that of distant thunder. For a few moments the earth seemed to be rocking to and fro like a ship at sea, and the shaking which followed for one minute subsided in a quick and continuous tremor. On stepping out of the house as the effect passed off, there seemed to be a noise like the serf [sic] on the sea-shore away in the direction of the river, and we have no doubt it was the effect of the shock upon the waters of the Cumberland. We cannot be mistaken in this, for we did not meet a person yesterday who entertained a doubt if its being a genuine earthquake. A chimney and some outbuildings were damaged. | H2012; V | IV-VII |

| Pontiac, MI | 42.667 | -83.30 | (Missasigned from Pontotoc) | VI | |
| Pontotoc, MS | 34.250 | -89.017 | Town was visited by a severe shock of an earthquake. Seated by our fireside at home, and unaccustomed to such occurrences, we were of course unprepared for the shock, and could scarcely realize it for several seconds after that peculiar rumbling noise which accompanies an earthquake, and the rocking of the house had commenced. There were evidently two distinct shocks. The first was the most severe, and continued some forty or fifty seconds, when an intermission of two or three seconds ensued, and then followed another, not severe enough to rock the house, but jarring it very sensibly, causing the windows to rattle. Some idea may be formed of the severity of the shock, when we state that several bricks from the top of our court house chimneys were shaken down. The earthquake seemed to come from the north-west, the rumbling having been heard chiefly in that quarter. | H2012; VI | VI |
| Portland, KY | 38.269 | -85.811 | A house, situated on the bank of the river at Portland, was separated from the chimney and the floor from the hearth several inches. | H2012; VI | VI |

| Pulaski, TN | 35.200 | -87.050 | It [sic] effects in Pulaski were somewhat singular, and go far to confirm our theory of the moral results of earthquakes. “Having been the first,” says the 'Courier' that many of the citizens ever witnessed, they were considerably alarmed, and left their houses for fear their houses would tumble upon them.” First impressions of terror always create feelings of alarm and a desire to do better, so we consequently find published in the same paper of the same date, a list of no less than twenty-six couple [sic], who, heart stricken, no doubt, at their sins of omission in not fulfilling the scriptures by marrying, straightway went and “did the thing they ought to do” as it is written in the good book. We subjoin the list, that there may be no lingering doubt left on the minds of skeptics and heretics who ought to have wives, but but [sic] willfully and obstinately refuse to woo and win them. Beware ye ugly bachelor and pretty spinster sinners, lest a heart quake, worse than any earthquake you have yet felt come upon you, and ye find none to comfort or bear the burden of singly wretchedness with you. | H2012; IV | V |
| Quincy, IL | 39.917 | -91.400 | The shock of an earthquake was very sensibly felt in this city. Many houses rocked so much that the inmates left them. There was a concert in the court house, and the shock was so perceptible that the audience was much alarmed, and many left the building. This is the first thing of the kind ever felt in this place. | H2012; IV | V |

| St. Louis, MO | 38.667 | -90.190 | A shock of an earthquake — On Wednesday evening, about nine o'clock, the citizens of St. Louis were thrown late considerable trepidation by a shock of an earthquake. The shock was nearly a minute in duration, and so severe as to make the timbers in some houses crack, and generally the glass and sash of the windows and glasses upon side-boards, gingle [sic] and rattle and the chairs and tables to rock and shake — Persons who were in third and fourth stories felt it most sensibly, and in many instances fled from their rooms; it was, however, generally felt by persons in either apartments. It was accompanied by a rumbling noise, like the rolling of a heavy carriage over the pavements. We have various statements as to the direction of the vibrations, but those in the best position in observe and coolest at the time, say it was from west to east. It was the severest shock felt in this city for several years, and is the second felt within about three months. “Part of the chimney of the session house of the first Presbyterian Church [illegible line] rubbish, sliding from a neighboring roof, was driven through a window into the room.” | H2012; V | IV-VI |

| Sommerville, TN | 35.233 | -89.367 | Quite a severe shock of an earthquake, which lasted fully two minutes, was experienced by our citizens. In fact, so great was the agitation and commotion of the earth, that many of our citizens who occupied brick buildings ran out of them, fearing that they would be shaken down by the shock. So it was with us. The brick building which we occupy as our Printing Office, was in such a quiver, with the plastering falling off, that we left it under the full belief that it would be shaken down. It is the opinion of many that had the shock lasted two minutes longer, or even a minute, many of our brick buildings would have fallen down. Connected with the shock was a rumbling noise, which seemed to have died away in the far west. The noise was heard by several of our citizens some few minutes before they felt the shock. | MWT1/17; V-VI | V-VI |
