Subject: 1880 DDD Schedule - Part 7 - McCracken County
Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 19:56:58 -0500


Today, we are concluding our ongoing review of the Defective, Dependent and
Delinquent Schedule from the 1880 census. Today's post will cover the
persons named in that schedule for McCracken County.

I expect to have all of the particulars associated with each individual
listing available at some future point, but, at this juncture, I do not
have anything beyond what is shown below. The enumerators were not thorough
at all in their completion of this part of the census, and, in the counties
so far examined in the JP region, left many of the columns blank, showing
only the name and nothing else. The same name may be found in two or more
of the categories, as someone who was blind could also be deaf and mute,
and could even be in the poor house and perhaps even shown as idiotic.

In another subject area, and in view of my offerings recently of the
instructions to the marshals and assistant marshals for carrying out the
1840 and 1850 census enumerations, I have been reminded that it has been
some time since I last posted the census dates for the 1790-1830 census
enumerations. The "census date" is the date on which the enumeration is
based. For example, the census enumerator might not reach a resident's home
until early August, but the information he requested was for the
inhabitants as of the census date. For most of the 19th century census
years, the census date was 1 June. A child born on 2 June 1850, for
example, would not be shown on the 1850 census, since he/she was born
*after* the census date. The opposite would be true for a man who died, for
example, on 1 July 1850. He would be shown living in the household on the
census, because he was living there on 1 June. Census dates need to be
known and observed, as they do impact who was shown on the enumerations for
each family. Here are the various census dates:

1790 - 2 August

1800 - 4 August

1810 - 6 August

1820 - 7 August

1830 - 1900 - 1 June

1910 - 15 April

1920 - 1 January

1930 - 1 April

Tomorrow, we will move to Graves County.
