Samuels - This 73 page soft cover
book measures 8 1/2 by 11 and has a
full name index. It is an invaluable
tool for those researching in this
time and place.
On microfiche the pages of the
1810 census of Pendleton District,
South Carolina, are very much out
of sequence. The "out of order"
pages were stamped with numbers,
evidently prior to microfilming.
The census taker's handwritten
page numbers also appear on the
film. These begin with page 200
and continue through page 297, the
last page being a "recap" dated 1
December 1810.
The census in this book is
arranged in the proper page
sequence--that of the census
taker--so that the researcher may
more easily determine the
neighborhoods in which people
lived. The format of the census in
this book is different from that
of the census taker, in that the
males and females are shown
together (but separated by a dash)
under each age grouping, thus
diminishing the number of columns
used per page.
This census was fairly easy to
read, after a scanning study of
the handwriting.
