The 1800 Census or Fence Post Tallies

The most of the 1800 census is in existance. When a woman is listed as head of household on the 1790 - 1840 census reports, she is usually a widow or the eldest daughter of deceased parents. She may also be living in a household where the male adult is elderly or infirm.

Information given on the 1800 census includes: name of head of household; number of free white males and females in these age categories: 0-10, 10-16, 16-26, 26-45, 45 and upwards; number of other free persons except Native Americans not taxed; number of slaves; town (or district) and county of residence.

Tennessee - Schedules are missing for all counties. Pollyanna Creekmore's Early East Tennessee Tax Lists may be used as a substitute when searching for residents.
