What you have is most likely a Tax List, not a census. There will be little additional information, other than a name, perhaps age, and maybe if you are lucky, some designation of acreage or livestock. There are probably transcriptions of the tax list available on the net; a look at "Brenda's Pennsylvania Genealogy" may produce a link.
