===============================================

In an introduction for microfilm publication 
M1803, the 1810 Census for Washington County, 
Ohio, the National Archives Microfilm 
Publications states, "The census schedules 
on this roll were contained in one bound 
manuscript volume that was unpaginated.  
The arrangement of the schedules is 
alphabetical by name of township."  Thus, 
there are no page numbers of any kind on the 
original document.

Because these census schedules were bound and 
appear face-to-face in the original volume, 
and in keeping with the practice on other 
bound census schedules, I have used the "A" 
and "B" designations for the required "Stamped 
No." block on the CenTrans software.  For 
example, the 1810 census schedules for Adams 
Township, Washington County, Ohio were recorded 
on four pages, with two pages facing each other 
at a time.  Therefore, I have used 1A, 1B, 2A, 
and 2B as the "Stamped No." identifier, 
respectively.

In addition to the individual family entries, 
the “A” pages contain the column headers, and 
the “B” pages contain the subtotal and total 
column figures for each township.

The names as I have them transcribed are the 
result of very close and careful comparisons of 
handwriting and the use of highly magnified 
images when the interpretation was initially 
unclear.  Where I had any doubt, I have used 
an asterisk (*) in place of unidentifiable 
letters.

INTRODUCTION

     On the single roll of this microfilm 
publication, M1803, is reproduced population 
census schedules for Washington County, Ohio, 
from the third census of the United States, 
taken in 1810.

     The 1810 population census schedules 
received by the National Archives from the 
Bureau of the Census include none for the 
State of Ohio.  In 1961, the schedules 
included on this roll of microfilm were in 
the Marietta College Library, Marietta, Ohio.  
That year, through the courtesy of the 
Library, they were loaned to the National 
Archives for microfilming.  At that time, 
the negative microfilm was turned over to 
the Marietta College Library, while the 
positive was placed in the Microfilm 
Reading Room of the National Archives, 
Washington, DC.

     This positive copy was assigned the number 
GR3, by which it was referred to in the "Guide 
to Genealogical Research in the National 
Archives" (National Archives and Records 
Administration, revised 1985).  In 1994, GR3 
was assigned a new number, M1803, in order to 
issue it as an official National Archives 
Microfilm Publication.

     The census schedules on this roll were 
contained in one bound manuscript volume that 
was unpaginated.  The arrangement of the 
schedules is alphabetical by name of township.
