1830 Federal Census: King in NJ, OH, and PA

In an attempt to control the cumbersome size of this page, I have reformated it and split it into three pages, one for each of the states represented. Click on the links below to get to the state you're interested in. Within each state, the data are arranged more or less as follows: alphabetically by location (county, then township or borough), and within those locations alphabetically by name. The designation twp = township is included in the location only if it appeared on the census page.

Explanation of Census Data. In the 1830 census, data were recorded for each head of household in 30 columns on the census page. The first 13 columns recorded males in various age groups, the next 13 columns recorded females in the same age groups, and the last four columns recorded various demographic data about the family, such as number of people engaged in agriculture. Only the first 26 columns of this are represented in the following data. The age categories into which both males and females were classified are as follows:

Column 1: 0 - 4 yrs.
Column 2: 5 - 9 yrs.
Column 3: 10 - 14 yrs.
Column 4: 15 - 19 yrs.
Column 5: 20 - 29 yrs.
Column 6: 30 - 39 yrs.
Column 7: 40 - 49 yrs.
Column 8: 50 - 59 yrs.
Column 9: 60 - 69 yrs.
Column 10: 70 - 79 yrs.
Column 11: 80 - 89 yrs.
Column 12: 90 - 99 yrs.
Column 13: 100 yrs. and over

In the data on these pages, trailing zeroes have been dropped. That is, data for males are recorded only up to the oldest male in the family, and data for females are recorded only up to the oldest female in the family. Thus, the following census data:

10201 - 000201

would mean the family consisted of 1 male in col. 1, 2 males in col. 3, and 1 male in col. 5, with no males older than col. 5; 2 females in col. 4, 1 female in col. 6, and no females older than col. 6.

Caveat Emptor. I am reading these data myself from the census. I am not perfect, and rumors to the contrary should be discounted. There are undoubtedly mistakes on these pages. Particularly likely mistakes are omissions of families, as all individuals in the following lists were identified by reference to indexes. I've already found many indexing errors, and these are being corrected as I find them. Several families have been added that were not in the indexes, but others have undoubtedly been missed. In some cases, names misspelled in the indexes have been corrected.
