Introduction and Instructions

No attempt has been made to verify or correct totals or other numbers in this transcription. They are shown as written in the census except where corrections were made later by the census taker or auditor. Corrected numbers are used in these cases. These corrections were made in the row and column totals only, subsequently making other columns inconsistent with the totals. In addition, the census taker sometimes overwrote numbers with a zero where an entry error was made. I have included these zeros in the transcription.
This census lists heads of household, the number of white members of the household by sex and age category (including the head of household), the number of free colored persons by sex and age category, the number of slaves by sex and age category, the total number of members of the household, the number in each household engaged in various occupations and the number of persons in each household over 20 years of age who can't read and write.
The census has been arranged in separate files for each page. The pages are arranged in two parts, each with a separate table exactly the way they appear in the census. There is also an index to the heads of household for the entire census that is arranged alphabetically so you won't have to scan through each page looking for surnames of interest. Each head of household in the index is linked to their respective census page and line for Part A of that page. Merely click on the person in the index and you will go to that person in the census. When you are done looking at that page click on your browser's BACK button to return to the index right where you left it. If you want to go to another page or a different area of the index, full navigational capability is located at the bottom of each page.
The data on each page of the census is arranged in columns that are self-explanatory. For those that are unfamiliar with mathematical notation, the symbol "<" means less than or under a certain age. Conversely, the symbol ">" means greater than or over a certain age. Some columns in the census were seldom or never used. These columns have been omittted. In the rare case where there was an entry in any of these columns, the data is footnoted at the bottom of the table.
