This is the first surviving census for Stafford, since both the 1790 and 1800 censuses have been lost. A complete index is included for easy access. Stafford was one of the earliest counties in the area known as the Northern Neck, and it was settled under the auspices of Lord Fairfax pursuant to his grant. The county's location along the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers gave it added importance as a commercial center, and the town of Falmouth was an important shipping center for the region.
