I’ve divided this file into thirds, so it will load a little faster. This is Section 2 – Duncan Creek through High Shoal / Carolean pages 102-223.

===============================================================

 

Each page was considered to have an “A” and a “B” side.

 

Page Breaks are shown in red.  They identify the Township, the date, the “stamped” page number (such as 277-A), and the “actual” page number WITHIN the township (page 1 of 31).

 

Column 1 indicates the page number ( 1, 2, ...  ) and the house number.

Note that the house numbers started over for each township.

Note that the census takers sometimes got confused and reused house numbers.

 

Column 2 indicates the last name.

Last names may be “double entered”: for example, “Guffy / Guffey”.  The intent was to help support searching through the data using a computer.  The first entry may be the interpretation of what appears on the census page, and the second entry is an alternative interpretation of what the name may have been.

 

Column 3 indicates the first name.

First names may be “double entered”: for example, “Horris / Horace”.  The intent was to help support searching through the data using a computer. The first entry may be the interpretation of what appears on the census page, and the second entry is an alternative interpretation of what the name may have been.

 

Column 4 indicates relationship, relative to the head-of-household.

 

Column 5 indicates the person’s sex, m (male) or f (female).

Note that the name “Francis” normally indicated a male, and “Frances” normally indicated a female.  Phonetically the names sound the same, but the census takers sometimes had a difficult time spelling the names correctly.

 

Column 6 indicates race.  There were 3 choices for the census taker: white, black, mu (mixed).

 

Column 7 indicates the person’s age, normally in years.

 

Column 8 indicates how long the husband-and-wife shown have been married to each other.

It does -not- take into account prior marriages, so you can have children from a first marriage that are older than the number of years shown for the marriage.

 

Column 9 is a miscellanous column that shows an inconsistent variety of information.

Sometimes it is the job or activity of the individual, such as “Farmer”.

Sometimes it is in the format “3 / 2 ch” which indicates the total number of children that person had up to the current date, followed by the total number of those children that are still living on the current date.  The second number should never be greater than the first number.

Sometimes the column is an indication of a second marriage.

 

There are also red Cross-Reference entries scattered periodically throughout the pages.

 

These Cross-reference entries are intended to help the reader find information in another source, usually another census, but sometimes marriage records, or cemetery records, etc.

 

The 1850 census doesn’t require page numbers in order to uniquely identify a family, so “house 1012” seems sufficient to point the reader into the 1850 census.

 

The 1860 census also doesn’t require page numbers in order to uniquely identify a family, so “house 1186” seems sufficient to point the reader into the 1860 census.

 

The 1870 census does require page numbers since each township starts over with “house 1”, so 021.089  would indicate page 021, house 089.
