Description
This database details those persons enumerated in the
1830 United States Federal Census, the Fifth Census of
the United States. In addition, the names of those listed
on the population schedule are linked to the actual
images of the 1830 Federal Census, copied from the
National Archives and Records Administration microfilm,
M19, 201 rolls. (If you do not initially find the name on
the page that you are linked to, try a few pages forward
or backward, as sometimes different pages had the same
page number.)
Enumerators of the 1830 census were asked to include the
following categories in the census: name of head of
household, number of free white males and females in age
categories: 0 to 5, 5 to 10, 10 to 15, 15 to 20, 20 to
30, 30 to 40, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60 to 70, 70 to 80, 80
to 90, 90 to 100, over 100; the name of a slave owner and
the number of slaves owned by that person; the number of
male and female slaves by age categories; the number of
foreigners (not naturalized) in a household; and the
number of deaf, dumb and blind persons within a
household. The categories allowed Congress to determine
persons residing in the United States for collection of
taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives.
Additional Information
The United States was the first country to call for a
regularly held census. The Constitution required that a
census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not
taxed" be performed to determine the collection of
taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790-1870
were organized under the United States Federal Court
system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who
hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors
were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1830 census was 1
June 1830. All questions asked were supposed to refer to
that date. The count was due within six months, but the
due date was extended by law to allow completion within
twelve months. By 1830, there were a total of twenty-four
states in the Union, with Missouri being the latest
edition. The new territory of Florida also had its first
census in 1830. There are no state or district wide
losses, however, there were some countywide losses in
Massachusetts, Maryland and Mississippi.
