BURKE COUNTY, NC - Census - 1850 Mortality Schedule, Burke Co., NC ==================================================================== Submitted by Dawn Watson Notes: All places of birth were written as states or countries and have been reduced here to their two-letter postal code (in the case of states) or a three-letter code (in the case of countries; GER = Germany). All months are abreviated here using the first three letters of the month's name. These changes from the original were made due to space considerations. There was one entry on page one, line number 30, where the place of birth was given as "North"; I abbreviated this as NOR, but be aware that it doesn't stand for anything but an apparent direction. All other entries are as close to the enumerator's marks as possible. Columns, left to right: Line number 1. Name of every person who died during the Year ending 1st June, 1850, whose usual Place of Abode at the Time of his Death was in this family. 2. Age. 3. Sex. [Gender] 4. Colour { White, black, or mulatto. 5. Free or Slave. 6. Married or widowed. 7. Place of birth. Naming the State, Territory, or Country. 8. The Month in which the Person died. 9. Profession, Occupation, or Trade. 10. Disease, or Cause of Death. 11. Number of days ill. Schedule 3.-Persons who died during the Year ending 1st June, 1850 in __________________ in the County of Burke State of No. Ca., enumerated by me, Saml. McD[****] Ass't Marshal.
