1790-1840 CENSUS AGE CATEGORIES (except for 1790, pertaining here to
"free white males and females").
1790: (1) free white males 16 and over, (2) free white males under 16,
(3) free white females, (4) all other free persons, (5) slaves.
1800 and 1810 (males and females): (1) under 10, (2) 10 and under 16,
(3) 16 and under 26, (4) 26 and under 45, (5) 45 and over.
1820 (males and females): (1) under 10, (2) 10 and under 16, (3) 16 and
under 26, (4) 16 to 18 (males only),* (5) 26 and under 45, (6) 45 and
over. *The extra category was for males, to determine the total
manpower that could be called up in times of war. Besides confusing
people interested in their ancestors, this category apparently confused
census takers, resulting in many reports of (3) and (4) that are
suspect.
1830-1840 (males and females): (1) under 5, (2) 5 and under 10, (3) 10
and under 15, (4) 15 and under 20, (5) 20 and under 30, (6) 30 and
