This information was compiled from the Federal and State Census records for Otsego
County, New York, from 1790 to 1925. There are inevitable errors, some resulting from
poor quality microfilm images of the census records, others from transcription errors
of all sorts. Users finding errors of any sort are invited to communicate with
Hugh MacDougall, so that they can be corrected.Return to Black Census Home Page
Federal Census for 1810
Note: Non-whites were classified in only two categories in the 1790, 1800, and 1810
censuses: "other free persons except non-taxed Indians" and "slaves." No age or sex
statistics were provided. Names of non-white free persons are therefore given only
when the non-white was the head of household -- otherwise non-whites only appear as
statistics listed in the households of whites. Names of the few non-white household
heads are shown in bold type.In the 1810 census, Otsego County census takers recorded only initials, not first names; moreover, one of the census takers made several egregious arithmetical errors in filing his figures; we here use the specific records in the two non-white columns. We have not struggled very hard to try to decipher names from bad handwriting, so further researchers may need to doubleccheck specific listings.
