This is the first surviving census for Essex County, Virginia, since both the 1790 and 1800 censuses have been lost. The manuscript is transcribed in its original form with all beginning and ending notations included. The manuscript is in average condition, with several of the pages extremely faded. This census should be a complement to the fine work of Roger Ward on land taxes in the county. Family names included in the 1810 Essex census are: Adams; Alexander; Allen; Andrews; Anthoney; Armstrong; Artkinson; Atkins; Atkinson; Ayres; Ball; Banks; Barnes; Barnett; Barton; Basket; Baylor; Baynham; Beale; Beazley; Belfield; Berry; Bird; Black; Blackburn; Blake; Bland; Boazley; Bohannon; Booker; Boughan; Boughton; Boulware; Breedlove; Brian; Bridges; Brizendine; Brizindine; Brockenbr.h; Brockenbrough; Broocke; Broockes; Broocks; Brooke; Brooks; Brown; Bunday; Burke; Burnett; Bush; Byrd; Callis; Campbell; Carlton; Carter; Cauthon; Cavanaugh; Chandler; Charity; Clarke; Clarkson; Clemants; Clements; Cloudass; Coates; Coghill; Cole; Coleman; Collins; Conoley; Cooper; Covington; Cox; Creedland; Crewdson; Crisey; Crittendon; Crossfield; Crow; Croxton; Crutchfield; Curry; Daingerfield; Daniel; Davis; Day; Deale; Dennett; Dickenson; Dishman; Dix; Dobbins; Doggins; Dollins; Donnison; Donohoe; Dowling; Downey; Driver; Dunn; Durham; Dyke; Edwards; Elliott; Emanuel; Estate; Evans; Farmer; Faucett; Faulconer; Fenton; Fergerson; Ferrel; Fidler; Fisher; Fogg; Fortune; Foster; FourAcres; Fowler; Fuller; F-ier; Gaines; Garnett; Garrett; Gatewood; Gayle; Gibson; Gordon; Gouldin; Goulding; Gouldman; Graves; Gray; Green; Greenstreet; Greenwood; Griffin; Griggs; Haile; Halbert; Hardy; Harles; Harper; Harris; Hawes; Hayes; Haynes; Haystalk; Heath; Henley; Hester; Hill; Hipkins; Hodges; Holinger; Hollinger; Howard; Howerton; Hudgen; Hudson; Hundley; Hunter; Ingram; Janey; Jarvis; Jeffries; Johnson; Jones; Judah; Kay; Keesee; Kidd; Lambeth; Latane; Latham; Lee; Lewis; Longest; Low; Loyal; Loyde; Lumpkin; Mahunney; Man; Mann; Manner; Marlow; Marshall; Mason; Matthews; McFarlin; McGay; McGivan; McGuy; Mchan; Meador; Micou; Miller; Miner; Minter; Mitchel; Monroe; Montague; Moody; Mullins; Munday; Muse; Newall; Newbill; Nickins; Noel; Olivar; Olover; Parker; Perry; Philips; Pickles; Pitts; Post; Potts; Prosser; Purkins; Quarles; Ramsey; Ranno; Rennolds; Rich; Richards; Richardson; Ritchie; Rollins; Rose; Rouse; Rouzee; Roy; Ryland; Sadler; Sale; Sam.l; Samuel; Satterwhite; Saunders; Schools; Shackelford; Shadock; Shearwood; Shepard; Sherwood; Ship; Short; Simcoe; Simmons; Smether; Smith; Smither; Soleleather; Somervail; Sowel; Spindle; St.John; Steward; Stewart; Stokes; Street; Sullivan; Taff; Taylor; Temple; Thomas; Toombs; Townley; Trible; Tucker; Tune; Tureman; Turner; Upshaw; Ussery; Vawter; Wagoner; Walden; Walker; Ward; Ware; Waring; Watkins; Watson; Wayde; Webb; Weir; Welch; Whitlock; Williams; Williamson; Wood; Woodward; Woody; Wright; Yarrington; Young; and Younger.
