Census Records

The following information has been collected from compiled census records. If a scan of the document has been made available, that link will be indicated by the thumbnail icon. I encourage everyone who has a scan of a census document that is not on this page to email me a copy, and I will post it. A word of advice we should all remember: Be sure to check the adjacent families on the census documents. Children often married and settled next door to their parents.

Head of Household: William BUCE

1840 Federal Population Census,
Haywood County, North Carolina
(M-704 Roll #362)
  Person Age Race Sex Occupation Place of Birth
  1 Male 10-15 (Charles)          
  1 Male 30-40 (William)          
  1 Female 0-5 (Mahaly)          
  2 Females 5-10 (Elizabeth + Girl C - probably 10 years old)          
  1 Female 10-15 (Girl B - probably 15 years old)          
  1 Female 30-40 (Pernina)          
  (Girl A is gone)          

Comments: All three unidentified girls are gone out of the household within 10 years. I've been going over the breakdown...barring some unknown factor, like death of one of the daughters, I've calculated the approximate birth year for the girls. This is my best guess:

Girl A, the eldest - born between 1815 and 1820, probably closer to 1818 or 1820, given that her parents were both born in 1800.

Girl B, probably born about 1824-25. In 1830 she was a min. 5 yrs/ max. 10 yrs., but in 10 years was in the 10-15 age range. So she had to have been about 5 years old during 1830 census to still fall within the 10-15 range in 10 years. Either she and Charles/the son were very close in age, or perhaps they were twins?

Girl C, probably born about 1830. By the 1840 census she was in the 5-10 year range, putting her birth at about 1830 or so.

These approximations could appear to fluctuate, depending on exact birth date, and the date the census was taken.

Analysis:
In 1830 there are four children, one male and three females. In 1840 the male has moved from the 5 - 10 to the 10 - 15 age, so he was born around 1825. I believe there were two new females born by 1840 and one left the family, probably by marriage. So by 1840 the total number of children in that family was five. Only one would be added, William Riley Buce, by 1850 (he was actually born in 1840 but after the census was taken). By 1850 the older male is missing as are two older females, all probably by marriage. I believe the missing male was Charles Evander Buce who in the 1850 census was 24 years old and married. So far all this fits together nicely.

The cemetery record, from two sources indicate Charles was born on 1835, not 1825 that his census data report (1850, 1870). I think that was an error by whomever placed the stone. For all these reasons, I am leaning towards Charles Evander Buce as being the eldest son of William and Pernina Buce. More research, especially tax records would make it more
convincing. Comments? -- Mike

Note: William Buice and Perninia Hall were both born in the year 1800. We do not have birth dates for either of them. However, I have come to an assumption based on census records that show William's age at the time of the census. It appears to be incongruent with the year, sometimes showing him a year older than he should have been. This is fairly easy to detect since he was conveniently born in the
easy to calculate year of 1800. The inconsistencies with William's age resolve themselves, however, if you take into account the CENSUS DATE. Consistently, if the census was before June 25-July 7, he will appear to be one age; if the census appears AFTER that date, he appears to have a different age. In my opinion, there is a high likelihood that William was born at the end of June, first part of July. Perninia's age remains constant regardless of the census date, so she was born most likely prior to June 25.

Comments: My aunt made a copy of this record, unaware at the moment that the Standridge family were related. My copy cuts off in the middle of the listed child's name, so I do not have a clear record of the Standridge family at that time. Elizabeth Standridge is the married daughter of William Buse. Note: It is difficult to read the enumerator's handwriting. While Hot House township fell under the jurisdiction of North Carolina, his handwriting looks like it might have said South Carolina. Given the fact the state and county boundaries fluxuated regularly, I am not certain what he may have declared. The column for "race" was not filled in for any of the persons listed on this page. The neighbor family listed on location 267, 267 was that of John Hefner, age 30, a Farmer. His wife Margaret age 28, and 4 children ages 6 years to 6 months are also listed.

Comments: I presume that Nancy's middle name was Lillie (her mother had a sister named Lillie), but why she was listed as Nancy on the census, and Lillie P on the Guion Roll application, I have no idea. It could be Nancy was a nickname, or an infrequently used first name. Her maternal grandmother was named Nancy. I have often wondered why guardianship passed to William R. Buse of these two grandkids. I suspect Perninia and her husband must have died. I wonder what happened to these kids. William R. Buse was divorced because he was an abusive husband, and the family history is that he was "not very nice." Both Wood children applied for membership on the Cherokee Rolls, but were rejected. Their aunt, Rosa Patterson, was also rejected.
