1850 Slave Schedule
Macon Co., NC

There are seven pages to this schedule. Page 7 is a short page, meaning that the enumerator used only part of this page. This schedule is presented here in its entirety, and is as close as possible to the original.

This schedule was enumerated by H. G. Woodfin between July 16, 1850 and November 5, 1850. The page number and date of enumeration are at the top of each page, which is divided into two tables. The upper table is the information found on the left-hand side of that page, while the lower table is the information found on the right-hand side of that page.

Each column is numbered, except the far left column, which is used to show the line number. The remaining columns from left to right are:

1. Name of Slave Owners
2. Number of Slaves [Mr. Woodfin used this column to keep a running total of the number of slaves for that slave holder]
3. Age [of slave]
4. Sex [of slave]
5. Color [of slave]
6. Fugitives from the State
7. Number Manumitted
8. Deaf & dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic

Unfortunately, the names of the individual slaves were not given. Additionally, under "color" can be found two letters: "b", for black, and "m", for mulatto.

No formal totals were given with this schedule.

This census was transcribed from microfilm copies. Every effort has been made to insure that the transcription reflects a true and accurate copy of the original. Questions and comments may be directed to Dawn Watson, the transcriber.
