1850 Mortality Schedule
Haywood Co., NC

This schedule was enumerated by Thaddeus D. Bryson. It begins on page 3; however, no page numbers were written onto this schedule after that. Here, the pages begin with page number one, that being the first page written into the schedule, and continue through page number 4.

The following changes were made to the original record so that the HTML version would not be unwieldy: 1) in column 7, all states were reduced to their 2-letter postal abbreviation (e.g. Maryland was changed to MD); 2) in column 8, all months were reduced to the first three letters (e.g. October was changed to Oct). Ditto marks were used by the enumerator in the original schedule, and are kept here exactly as he used them.

The first column denotes the line number of each entry. The remaining columns from left to right are:

1. Name of every person who died during the year ending 1st June 1850, whose usual place of abode at the time of his death was in his family.
2. Age.
3. Sex. [gender]
4. Color {White, black or mulatto.
5. Free or slave.
6. Married or widowed.
7. Place of birth, naming the state, territory or country.
8. The month in which the person died.
9. Profession, occupation or trade.
10. Disease or cause of death.
11. Number of days ill.
