Hello list, I am new at this, and I need help. I see on the 1820 census that there is the last column entitled, "all other persons except Indians not taxed". It sounds self explanatory, but I cannot figure out what "other" group of people are left to count after all of the other headings....free white males, free white females, male and female slaves, then free colored persons, then that last column, "all other persons except Indians not taxed". Well, who could that be for? I see several possible relatives, and a handful have a household member in that category. What other kind of person is there left to count? Thanks, Jess. --------------------------------- Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile. Try it now.
Hi Jesse, You may want to visit the US Census Bureau page at: http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/ma.html This particular page contains a PDF document that provides explanations of each census beginning in 1790. I don't know if it addresses your particular question. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Holt" <jess.holt@yahoo.com> To: <VAPITTSY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 10:21 PM Subject: [VAPITTSY] "all other persons except Indians not taxed"? > Hello list, I am new at this, and I need help.
