==========================================
The Original Census project announces its latest
initiative. Completion of the First US Census
transcription. This census was taken as required in
the newly adopted US Constitution on the effective
date of August 2, 1790. The new US Government tried
to count all known residents in the territory that
composed the United states at that time.
"The jurisdiction of the original thirteen states
canvassed an area of seventeen present states.
Schedules survive for eleven of the thirteen
original states: Connecticut, Maine (part of
Massachusetts at the time), Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and
Vermont. (Vermont became the fourteenth state early in
1791 and was included in the census schedules).
Enumerators were only required to make one copy of the
census schedules to be held by the clerk of the district
court in their respective area. In 1830, Congress passed a
law requiring the return of all decennial censuses
from 1790-1830. At this point it was discovered that many
of the 1790 schedules had been lost or destroyed. Thus, we
have about two-thirds of the original census from the time
period. The 1790 census suffered district losses of Delaware,
Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Virginia. However, some
of the schedules for these states have been re-created using
tax lists and other records. Virginia was eventually
reconstructed from tax lists as well as some counties from
North Carolina and Maryland."
excerpted from the
Ancestry.com 1790 Census headers.
We are seeking to have all known schedules transcribed and
made available for the public's use for free. If you can assist
in this effort contact Earnie Breeding at firefighter635(a)ev1.net
