The 1790 Census: Slave Holders, Other Free Persons and Slaves is a work in progress and have put up the New Hampshire and Vermont census to date.

If anyone is interested in possibly doing any other states, whether whole or in part can download any or all of the following states at

http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/decennial/1790.htm

The states are: Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia Can be downloaded in PDF format or in a zip file. Files are very large so a fast connection is recommended.

The format used for inputting the information that I used is an excel spreadsheet that I downloaded a few years back online, but don't have that link right now, but should be able to send the spreadsheet to anyone interested by email.

Have just done some more updating on the 1790 New Hamphisre and 1791 Vermont Census: Slave Holders, Other Free Persons and Slaves website at http://sites.google.com/site/1790censusotherfreepersons/home

Have added links to Biographies of many of these folks. It is very much a work in progress but is shaping up. If you have something that you would like to add/subtract then please let me know and will try to accommodate asap. I welcome any and all suggestions.

Yes, saw what you did, Joann and I will be doing the same for the numbers on my OFPs in the NH one also. I look forward to whatever you send that we can put on the site. In the meantime I am going to try to add more personal info I have at some point today. I have quite a few pension papers for them, but deciphering some of the writing might take some time, so will weed through them and cull out the important parts.

Thanks, Toni, I highlighted the number of OFPs for the heads of household. Also, in Orange County, I highlighted Jepther Sharp's name. He was also an OFP. I will be sending you some additional information on the OFPs from Bennington County. The man who took the census for some of the towns made three columns for identifying the OFPs; similar to the columns for the white heads of household, so rather than one number for the total OFPs, there is a breakdown. A friend brought this to my attention and when I looked at the 1791 census online I saw that the ones that had been copied had that feature.

Have updated the 1791 census for Vermont. that Joann Nichols contributed. Only have the names of the Slave Owners, Other Free Persons and Slaves at this time, but hope to add relevant info pertaining to the people.

Also, have updated info on people for the 1790 Census for New Hampshire.

I agree that would be of a greater benefit. The site I use for Google is a site I can add others to collaborate with and have been working with Joann Nichols as a collaborator there. Joann has done the research for the Vermont site that is being added to the site.

As folks want to add/subtract something I can add them as well. I have 100 mb of space with Google so don't know how long this space would hold out, but I'm sure others could set up their own sites and then do linking to and from sites?

Yes, George! I believe this would be a great idea! I know that the 1790 census only covered the states of Connecticut New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, New York, South Carolina, Maryland, North Carolina, Vermont, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, but the later census could also be implemented.

Also, others might have info pertaining to certain persons and be able to contribute in the info for those persons.

And, yes, time permitting. We all have lots on our plates when it comes, not only to genealogy, but other areas of our lives. Thanks for joining my group.

Hi Toni,

You have an interesting group here!

Perhaps we should all take on similar projects in our respective regions of study- time permitting!
Comment by Toni Feeney on July 26, 2009 at 6:47am
Thanks, Joann. I will do that right now.
Comment by Joann H. Nichols on July 26, 2009 at 6:34am
Hi, Toni, I thought after I did it that I should have put it on your own site instead of on here, or on both. Yes, you may put it on Ishmael Turner's page! Thanks!
