O.K. Wanda, After I emailed you, I kept thinking something was wrong. I knew Morgan didn't sound right for the area. I had always just seen Hillsboro. So, if you have someone in Morgan District, they aren't from Wake Co., in 1790. So, Here is is.. From Helen Leary's "North Carolina Research". The 1790 census for NC had districts (Not all of the state was well populated) The counties were grouped in 8 districts and then the districts were arranged alphabetically. Edenton, Fayette, Halifax, Hillsboro, Morgan, New Bern, Salisbury, and Wilmington. So, that's why you can't figure out which county a household is in, by the page #'s in the index of 1790. The now, counties of Randolph, Chatham, Orange, Caswell, WAKE and Granville were all in one district. "Hillsboro". Morgan District that you were asking about was the now counties of: Burke, Wilkes, Lincoln and Rutherford. Edenton District was the now counties of: Hertford, Bertie, Gates, Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan and Tyrrell Fayette District which contained the now counties of Anson, Richmond, Moore, Cumberland, Robeson and Sampson Halifax District, the now counties of Warren, Franklin, Halifax, Nash, Edgecomb and Northampton. New Bern District was Johnston, Wayne, Dobbs, Pitt, Beaufort, Craven, Jones, Carteret and Hyde. Salisbury District: Rockingham and Guilford Wilmington District: Bladen, Brunswick, New Hanover, Duplin and Onslow Counties. Hope this helps.
