Dallas, All of the 1790 censuses have been alphabetized (and typed). This is what is available on microfilm and in books at most genealogical libraries. I believe the original 1790 censuses are available at the National Archives. Alphabetizing of the 1800 and 1810 Rowan Co. censuses was done at the local level. Adjacent names in most cases have no significance in determining neighbors. Richard A. Bain dickbain@primeline.com
