Jump to Busharts in Censuses 1790-1840
What follows are analyses of the early censuses for John Bushart, his son, Jacob Bushart, Sr., and the descendants of Jacob Bushart, Sr.. These are basically educated guesses as to who people were, since only the name of the household head was given, followed by numbers of people in varios categories of age and gender.
1790 Census - 5 Categories: 1 White Males 16 and older 2 White Males 0-15 3 White Females 4 Other Free Persons 5 Slaves 1800 and 1810 Censuses - 12 Categories 1 White Males 0-9 2 White Males 10-15 3 White Males 16-25 4 White Males 26-44 5 White Males 45 and older 6 White Females 0-9 7 White Females 10-15 8 White Females 16-25 9 White Females 26-44 10 White Females 45 and older 11 All Other Free Persons 12 Slaves 1820 Census - 13 Categories 1 White Males 0-9 2 White Males 10-15 3 White Males 16-18 4 White Males 16-25 5 White Males 26-44 6 White Males 45 and older 7 White Females 0-9 8 White Females 10-15 9 White Females 16-25 10 White Females 26-44 11 White Females 45 and older 12 Foreigners Not Naturalized 13 Number Engaged in Agriculture Note: There are other categories, one for persons engaged in commerce, one for persons engaged in manufacturing, and several for slaves, in categories of age and gender. As our ancestors were mostly farmers, those not engaged in agriculture are exceptions, and are noted as such. If they had slaves, that is also noted. Also note that categories #3 and #4 above overlap. 1830 and 1840 Censuses - 26 Categories 1 White Males 0-4 2 White Males 5-9 3 White Males 10-14 4 White Males 15-19 5 White Males 20-29 6 White Males 30-39 7 White Males 40-49 8 White Males 50-59 9 White Males 60-69 10 White Males 70-79 11 White Males 80-89 12 White Males 90-99 13 White Males 100 and older Categories 14-26 are for white females in the same age categories. There are also categories for slaves, which I have noted if there were any in that household.
