1820 Salem, MA There is a listing for Jacob Winchester in 1820 with a string of numbers after the name but no legend above to determine what these numbers mean and no age given. On another page there is a legend which indicates it is Free White Males and Free White Females. On that basis there are 7 males and 3 females. Only the head of household is listed by name. nothing in 1830, 1840, 1850 1860 Salem, MA no relationships or other details given Jacob Winchester age 58 Stair Builder Sally age 51 (wife?) Eunice age 18 Lucy age 15 Nancy Woodbury age 58 There is an interesting double entry for 1870 for Jacob and Sarah Winchester. In one listing Jacob is 70, Sarah 62; in the other he is 68 and she is 63. On both the occupation as Gallow Chandler(?) is the same. Both entries are for Salem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelles & Jacque" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 11:04 AM Subject: [MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP] Essex Co, 1850-1860-Winchester > > > I am looking for Jacob Winchester b.1802 MA d. 1871 MA wife Elizabeth (Lang) Winchester b abt 1808 d.? > Children as I know, all born in Salem. > Maria b. 1833 > Eunice b. 1841 > Lucy b. 1844 > > Thank you for your help > Jacquelyn Jones > > > ==== MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP Mailing List ==== > In the U.S., a census has been taken every 10 years from 1790 through 2000. All censuses taken after 1930 are still confidential and the information they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790 through 1840 only named the head of the household and the numbers of people in categories - 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850 through 1930 lists each member of the household and usually gives the relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a 20 year gap between 1880 and 1900. > CENSUS LOOKUPS HOME PAGE http://www.rootsweb.com/~censlook/ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
