Census Records/Tax Lists of Head of Households in Early Virginia

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, VA - CENSUS - 1783 Kingston Parish Tax list

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.
