1860 Slave Schedule
Macon Co., NC

There are six pages to this schedule. Page 6 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 John Ingram between June 4, 1860 and August 10(?), 1860. 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 page of this schedule had 40 lines. The right-hand side of the page did not have line numbers in the original schedule. For the sake of clarity, line numbers are used on this transcription for all entries.

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
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
9. No. of Slave houses

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.

At the bottom of each page are the totals. Many of the columns were left entirely blank by the enumerator and therefore did not have any totals.

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 the transcriber.
