Hi, Can someone VERIFY or DENY this statement I got off the web "The 1790 SC Census was taken over the first 6 months of 1792" I am tracking two men who are on that Census in Spartanburg and Greenville. Now I'm trying to determine when they moved away . Any help is appreciated. Elaine

First Census Of The United States - SC p.4 [Introduction]: . . . The legal period for enumeration, nine months, had been extended, the longest time consumed being eighteen months in South Carolina. Ibid. p.6: An Act Providing For The Enumeration Of The Inhabitants Of The United States Approved March 1, 1790. . . . The enumeration shall commence on the first Monday in August next, and shall close within nine calendar months thereafter. NGS Quarterly Vol.79 No.4 Dec. 1991, Hendrix- "Sorting Identities via Neighborhood Reconstruction", p.269: The submitted returns of the deputy marshals for northern and southern Orangeburg are dated 30 July 1791 and 28 April 1792 respectively. It is not known whether the recorded household data actually reflects individual situations as of the official census date (i.e., 2 August 1790) or whether they reflect ages and household compositions as of the date each household was visited."
