Bladen County, NC - 1850 Census - Homes 278-293

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the 1850 US Census for Bladen County NC,  Houses 278-293.  
These were located on the NE Side of New River.  All are born in 
NC except where noted.  All could read and write except where noted.  
All are white except where noted.  If employment or not if mentioned 
in the census it is put her. The format is house #, Name, age, race, 
occupation,   $worth, where born, married in the last year, attended 
school in the last year, cannot read  & write and 21 yrs & over.  
Misc such as insane, pauper etc.  I have tried to spell the names to 
the best of my ability  as spelled in the census.  I have listed the 
date the information was obtained according to the census.    The 
census was a hard thing for a census taker to do.  He had to go out 
to places that were separated by large distances.  The accent of the 
person and there ability to read and write took it’s toll.  Also the 
people that could read and write were not always the best spellers so 
a lot the census in by phonetic sound.   Also there were times the 
census taker took the information from a neighbor when unable to 
obtain it from the actual house.
