Tazewell County is located in southwestern Virginia. This transcription of the 1840 Census gives the usual name of the head of households, age and sex of those freed persons living within the house. We do not mention the age and sex of slaves. In addition, the second page of the census is transcribed also giving the occupation of those in the household, personal data like deaf, blind, etc., the name and age of those pensioners in the household. These are soldiers that fought in the American Revolution and War of 1812. Those who are teaching schools, the type of school is given and the number of students, both private and those at public claim.
