JACKSON CO., NC - CENSUS - 1860 Mortality Schedule ==================================================================== Transcribed September 3, 2003 by Dawn Watson Transcribed from photocopies of the microfilmed schedule. For the sake of readability, all months are reduced to the first three letters. States, where given, are reduced to their two-letter postal code. In column 4, the enumerator used the abbreviation "Ind"; I have used only the letter "I" instead. Everything else is exactly as it was written in the schedule, to the best of my ability to make it so, including the remarks made by the enumerator at the bottoms of pages two and three. Note: "do" is short for ditto; the enumerator used "do" frequently. Columns, left to right: 1. Name of every person who died during the year ending 1st June, 1860, whose usual place of abode at the time of death was in this family. 2. Age. 3. Sex. [gender] 4. Color { 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.
