1870 Dare Co., North Carolina Census

This census was extracted from Ancestry's census images by Sallie Gargis. No attempt was made to correct mistakes in the spelling of the names thus you should look for all conceivable variations of the surnames.

This was Dare County's very first census. Several new elements appeared in the 1870 census from previous census records. Slavery had been abolished and all African-Americans were named for the first time; also included were Chinese and Native Americans. Reconstruction queries regarding citizenship and voting were added. Greater precision in stating age was provided for and two queries called for specification of months. Note that the months January-May were in 1870. June-December were 1869. Foreign birth of parents was noted. Relationships to the head of family were not used in this census.

Twenty columns were used in the original census but I chose to leave some of them out in order to get everything on one page. The columns I used are:

1) Dwelling-Houses - numbered in the order of visitation
2) The name of every person whose place of abode on 1 June 1870 was in this family
3) Age at last birthday - If under 1 year then the months were given in fractions, i.e., 3/12
4) Sex - Male was indicated with an "m"; female with an "f"
5) Color - White was indicated with a "w", Black with a "b", Mulatto with an "m", Chinese with a "c" and Indian with an "i"
6) Occupation - the trade of each person, male or female
7) Value of Real Estate
8) Value of Personal Estate
9) Birth Place - naming the state or territory of the U.S.; or the country, if of foreign birth
10) If born within the year - the month was stated
11) If married within the year - the month was stated
12) Attended school within the year
13) Cannot Read
14) Cannot Write

There were 5 townships in the 1870 Dare County census. Below is a table with links to each page in the 1870 census.
