1850 Census
At the suggestion of Sam, I created a separate page that shows only persons listed as 'black' or 'mulatto'. Click Here To View
On December 22, 1998, I FINALLY finished the task of transcribing the 1850 Census and have placed it online. There are 1,254 Households, and 6,827 names.
For now, I have placed 5 pages of census information onto one page on the web. To browse them in page sequence, or by dwelling number, click here
