1830 Federal Census of Tyrrell County, North Carolina

Introduction and Instructions

Every effort has been made to transcribe this census as written. The readability of this census was good, so there should be relatively few errors. Entries that show a zero were actually blank in the census.

No attempt has been made to verify or correct totals or other numbers in this transcription. They are shown as written in the census except where corrections were made later by the census taker or auditor. Corrected numbers are used in these cases. The totals table uses computed totals for each household except for the grand total, which is taken from the census.

This census lists heads of household, the number of white members of the household by sex and age category (including the head of household), the number of free colored persons by sex and age category, the number of slaves by sex and age category and the total number of members of the household.

The census has been arranged in separate files for each page. The pages are arranged in four parts, or categories, whites, free colored, slaves and totals. Each category is presented with a separate table exactly the way the numbers appear in the census. There is also an index to the heads of household for the entire census that is arranged alphabetically so you won't have to scan through each page looking for surnames of interest. Each head of household in the index is linked to their respective census page and category. Merely click on a category (whites, slaves, etc.) in the index and you will go to that person and category in the census. When you are done looking at that page click on your browser's BACK button to return to the index right where you left it. If you want to go to another page or a different area of the index, full navigational capability is located at the bottom of each page.

The data on each page of the census is arranged in columns that are self-explanatory. For those that are unfamiliar with mathematical notation, the symbol "<" means less than or under a certain age. Conversely, the symbol ">" means greater than or over a certain age. Some columns in the census were seldom or never used. These columns have been omittted. In the rare case where there was an entry in any of these columns, the data is footnoted at the bottom of the table.
