MECKLENBURG COUNTY, VA - CENSUS - 1782 Taxlist of Jesse Sanders ----¤¤¤---- Title: Heads of families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790. : records of the state enumerations, 1782 to 1785. City of Publication: Washington Publisher: G.P.O. Date: 1908 Page Count: 193 Notes: At head of title: Department of Commerce and Labor, Bureau of the Census, S.N.D. North, director. Includes index. The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. A complete set of the schedules for each state, with a summary for the counties, and in many cases for towns, was filed in the State Department, but unfortunately they are not now complete, the returns for the states of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia having been destroyed when the British burned the Capitol at Washington during the War of 1812. For several of the states for which schedules are lacking it is probable that the Director of the Census could obtain lists which would present the names of most of the heads of families at the date of the First Census. At the census of 1790 the state of Virginia was returned with a population of 747,160, leading, by more than 300,000, Pennsylvania, the second state of the Union in point of population at the First Census. The loss of Virginia's original schedules for the First and Second censuses is so unfortunate that every endeavor has been made to secure data that would in some measure fill the vacancy. The only records that could be secured were some manuscript lists of state enumerations made in the years 11782, 1783, 1784, and 1785; also the tax lists of Green-brier county from 1783 to 1786. These documents were on file in the State Library and could not be removed there from. Through the courtesy of the State Librarian and the members of the Library Board, an act was passed by the legislature allowing the Census Office to withdraw the lists for the purpose of making copies and publishing the names, in lieu of the Federal census returns. The counties for which the names of the heads of families are returned on the state census lists are 39 in number, and contained in 1790 a population of 370,000; 41 counties with 377,000 population are lacking; this publication covers, therefore, only about one-half of the state.
