The 1800 Census was a little better than the 1790, in that it added more columns. This time, there were 5 age groups for males and females. This helps sort out the family a little more. I will explain what each column represents in detail below.
The census was “as of” 4 Aug 1800, meaning all data collected (even if collected months after that date) was supposed to reflect the families condition on 4 Aug 1800, meaning all ages were to be listed how they were back on August 4th, even if it was three months later when the census taker asked. It isn't know if the census taker adhered to this rule or not, but that is what they were supposed to do.
The page number that I use on my published census abstracts are normally the stamped page number, but in many cases the page number was hand written on each page, or in some cases each page had two numbers, a stamped one, and a handwritten one. If there are two numbers, I got them both.
1800 Census Columns:
1. Name of Head of Household. This is usually the husband. If a woman is listed as head of household, she was usually a widow, or a single mother, or a single person raising younger siblings.
2. Number of Free White Males under 10. (i.e. age 0-9, or born ca 1790/1800)
3. Number of Free White Males 10 and up but under 16. (i.e. age 10-15, or born ca 1784/1790)
4. Number of Free White Males 16 and up but under 26. (i.e. age 16-25, or born ca 1774/1784)
5. Number of Free White Males 26 and up but under 45. (i.e. age 26-44, or born ca 1755/1774)
6. Number of Free White Males 45 and upwards. (i.e. age 45 and older, or born prior to 1755)
7. Number of Free White Females under 10. (i.e. age 0-9, or born ca 1790/1800)
8. Number of Free White Females 10 and up but under 16. (i.e. age 10-15, or born ca 1784/1790)
9. Number of Free White Females 16 and up but under 26. (i.e. age 16-25, or born ca 1774/1784)
10. Number of Free White Females 26 and up but under 45. (i.e. age 26-44, or born ca 1755/1774)
11. Number of Free White Females 45 and upwards. (i.e. age 45 and older, or born prior to 1755)
12. Number of Free Colored Persons. Non "White" persons (other than slaves) were lumped together in this column with no age or sex distinction. These persons were not considered "White" (in the census takers opinion, anyway). See my pages on Race Codes for more about these "Free Persons of Color". Normally, these are not Indians (Native Americans), as they were not supposed to be listed at all on the census. However, they could be those of mixed Indian heritage.
13. Number of Slaves. All slaves were lumped together into this one column with no age or sex distinction.
