Book Description
Compiled from original records in the North Carolina Department of Archives and History, this work lists 14,000 heads of households and provides an enumeration of individuals in each household by age, sex, and race. In addition, individuals named are listed under a reference to the original census page, thus furnishing the researcher with a key to the manuscript records. Based on a special state enumeration, this 1784-87 census names many individuals who had left North Carolina by the time of the first federal census of 1790.
