Census Transcription

Transcribed in 1999/2000 by Linda Carpenter, 
Jan Johnson Barnes, and Marie Johnson

1. To keep the file sizes small, each district is divided into single microfilm page numbers. If the family for whom you are searching is at the top or the bottom of the page, BE SURE to check the preceeding or following page. Sometimes families are split across pages.
2. The census was transcribed as is. Sometimes the household numbers within a district are out of order.
3. The "Comments" section may contain helpful notations, including the following:
   
   • 10 means "Married within the year"
   • 11 means "Attended school within the year"
   • 12 means "Persons over 20 years of age who cannot read or write"
   • 13 means "Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper, or convict"
   • Black
   • Mulatto
