1850 Federal Census - Wells



Many Thanks to Joanne Murray who prepared and transcribed this material!

As with the transcription of any census records, the original should be consulted for accuracy, since handwriting and microfilm copy legibility quality can be difficult to read, especially unusual names!

NOTE:  It has been noted that the age in months of children under 1 year of age is consistent with a date of 1 June 1850 (not with the date of when the census was actually taken).

Columns:
  1. Dewlling #
  2. Family #
  3. Name of every person whose usual place of abode on 1 June 1850 was with this family
  4. Age
  5. Sex
  6. Color
  7. Profession, Occupation or Trade of each male over 15
  8. Value of Real estate owned
  9. Place of birth
  10. Married within the year
  11. In school within the year
  12. Persons over 20 unable to read & write
  13. Deaf, dumb, blind, insane, idiot, pauper or convict
