Overview

With this present publication we now have a reliable index to the 1820 census of Kentucky. It provides the researcher with a single alphabetical list of heads of households, further indicating the name of the county of which each head of household was resident and the page number of the original census schedule wherein full data on the household and its occupants may be found. The additional household data which may be found in the census itself includes the number of free white males and females arranged by age bracket; the number of male and female slaves and free colored persons by age bracket; the number of all other free persons, except Indians not taxed; and the number of persons engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, and the trades.
