Hi Mary -- yes I have access to this early tax list too but looking for the specific 1800 census which has all heads of household indexed for just 1800. The list you refer to has various dates for tax lists from 1772 up to 1806, I believe. Joan In a message dated 10/15/2005 11:26:10 P.M.

Look for "New Jersey Census, 1772- 1890." Here's Ancestry's description of this record" Description: This collection contains the following indexes: 1772-1822 Tax Lists Index; 1800 Cumberland County Federal Census Index; 1824-1832 Bergen County - Paterson City; 1830 Federal Census Index; 1840 Federal Census Index; 1840 Pensioners List; 1850 Federal Census Index; 1850 Slave Schedule; 1860 Federal Census Index; 1870 Federal Census Index; 1890 Veterans Schedule; Early Census Index.

Thanks for the reference. If you search for Jonathan Fish on Ancestry.com and then narrow the result set by selecting only the census entries, you'll see the NJ Tax Lists and the Federal Population Schedules. Select any one of the NJ entries and then at the bottom of the page you can refine your search within the "New Jersey Census, 1772-1890" database. Enter the name you're researching. My Jonathan Fish (1770-1846) was married in Cumberland County, Deerfield Township in 1797 to Elizabeth Graham. The index entry for JONATH FISH in the NJ Federal Population Schedule for 1800 in Cumberland County shows 11010-10100-00 in the Township field. I believe these numbers refer to the numbers of Free White Males and Females in the household, in the five age group columns. The last two digits may refer to the other two columns on the census sheet, "Number of all other free persons" and "Number of Slaves".
