1790 Census Anson County NC

This is a transcription of the 1790 census for Anson County North Carolina.

The first federal census of the United States, conducted in 1790, was a basic enumeration compared to the complex statistical surveys of today. Yet, despite its simplicity, it holds great historical and genealogical value. This inaugural census listed only the names of heads of households and provided basic demographic counts under five categories:

  1. Free white males 16 years and older, including heads of household
  2. Free white males under 16 years of age
  3. Free white females (of all ages), including heads of household
  4. All other free persons (including free people of color)
  5. Slaves
