Robinson Web End Notes

Note the categories of the 1820 federal census (males and females): (1) under 10, (2) 10 and under 16, (3) 16 and under 26, (4) 16 to 18 (males only),* (5) 26 and under 45, (6) 45 and over. *The extra category was for males, to determine the total manpower that could be called up in times of war. Besides confusing people interested in their ancestors, this category apparently confused census takers, resulting in many reports of (3) and (4) that are suspect. For more information on all federal census years see Information on Federal Censuses
