Census form

Census form (blank) (Archive.org copy from 2006)

Images of the 1810 census might not include headers as indicated in the PDF blank form linked above. According to this form, the page was to have a row across the top for:

State | County | City | Call number


The remainder of the page was columnar (|| means a double vertical line):

Page | Head of Family | Free white males || Free white females || All others | Slaves | Remarks


The two "Free white" columns were subdivided into age range columns:

Under 10 | 10-16 | 16-26 | 26-45 | 45 and over


Most data recorded, then would be in the form of integers in the matrix, save for the name of the head of family.
