First Census of the United States
Total Population

3,893,874


The society census record collection has the entire 1790 federal census.  No schedules are known to exist for Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia. They are popularly believed to have been destroyed during the British attack on Washington during the War of 1812 but no hard evidence exists.  In fact, by law, the schedules should have been stored in each local federal district court until they were directed to be sent to the U.S. Secretary of State in 1830. The 1790 schedules for Virginia were reconstructed from state enumerations.  These are the printed schedules as published by the Bureau of the Census in 1907- 8. At the end of roll 3, the 1840 Census of Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military Services has also been reproduced.

Our collection of 1850 federal census records is limited to parts of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, and Virginia.  The 1850 census is the first where every member of the household has names and birthplaces recorded.  The 1850 census assigns each dwelling a number and each family a number within the town or township in the specified county.  This little detail alone will sometimes help put family groups together.  The 1850 census also includes the name, age, sex, and color of each member of the household. Other information includes occupation, value of real estate, birthplace, whether married or attended school within the year, check marks for cannot read or write, and whether a pauper or convict.

Our collection of 1870 federal census records is limited to parts of the states of Illinois and Kentucky.  Besides the information asked in the 1860 census, the 1870 schedule asked if a person's father or mother were foreign born and if a male was a "citizen of the U.S. of 21 years of age and upwards." It also asked each male citizen 21 years or older if he had had his "right to vote denied or abridged on other grounds than rebellion or other crime." In other words, was the person denied the right to vote
in violation of the 14th amendment, which guarantees citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law for men regardless of race.  The 1870 census also recorded the date of birth or marriage if it had occurred during the census year.
