The 1820 census, with a census day the first Monday of August and a six-months enumeration period, presented enumerators with an unusual problem. Its third column for free white males was headed "between 16 and 18"; its fourth column "of 16 and under 26." Many enumerators marked a seventeen-year old in both categories; others treated the fourth column as "of 18 and under 26." Researchers must study the schedule itself, comparing totals from lines and columns, to determine the usage in an entry of interest.
The below sample has headings somewhat different than the original schedule in that I left out three columns entitled: 1) Number of Persons Engaged in Agriculture 2) Number of Persons Engaged in Commerce and 3) Number of Persons Engaged in Manufacturing. I did this so I could get everything across one line on a single page rather than having to scroll across several screens horizontally to get the information. I also moved the Foreigners not Naturalized column to the next to last column rather than having it in the middle of the page as it was on the original. I shaded every other line so you will be somewhat less likely to lose your place on the page. The original 1820 census had given names written first, then the surname. I took the liberty of putting the surname first and highlighting it in red for easier searching. No attempt was made by me to correct mistakes in the spelling of the names thus you should look for all conceivable variations of the surnames. This 1820 Hyde County census was enumerated by Benjamin Foreman. No townships were given. This census was abstracted from mircocopy pages which were taken from Microfilm M33; Roll #83 from the National Archives in Washington, DC.
