Transcription by Edgar D. Byler, III
Transcribed from NARA Microfilm Publication #M33, Roll 125 (Fourth Census of the United States, 1820). Originally published in “Wayne County, Tennessee Census Records Volume I: 1820, 1830 and 1840” by Edgar D. Byler, III, The Byler Press, 1974
Only the head of each household is listed by name. All other persons in the household were enumerated by the number of individuals in a given age group and broken down by males listed first and females listed second.
This transcription follows the standard shorthand enumeration. The column headings for this census are
Free Whites:
Male: 0-under 10/10-under 16/16-under 18/16 – under 26/26 – under 45/45 and up.
Female: 0-under 10/10-under 16/16-under 26/26-under 45/45 and up
Free Negroes:
Male: 0-under 14/14-under 26/26-under 45/45 and up
Female: 0-under 14/14-under 26/26-under 45/45 and up
The number of slaves listed for a given household are given as a whole number total following the owner’s enumeration.
For example, the first household listed in the 1820 census for Wayne County, Tennessee is that of David Shull on page 323A. The listing is David Shull 200010/20100. Reading the numbers from left to right, this means that there were …
2 while males over 0 years but under 10 years of age
0 white males 10 years old and older, but under 16 years of age
0 white males 16 years old and older, but under 18 years of age
0 white males 18 years old and older, but under 26 years of age
1 white male 26 years old and older, but under 45 years of age
0 white males 45 years old and older
2 white females 0 years old and older, but under 10 years of age
0 white females 10 years old and older, but under 16 years of age
1 white female 16 years old and older, but under 26 years of age
0 white females 26 years old and older, but under 45 years of age
0 white females 45 years old and older
since there are no other numbers listed, there were no free blacks or slaves in the household.
