The Federal Government has conducted a census every ten years since 1790. From 1790 through 1840 the
census listed the name of the head of the house. The next figures recorded by age catagory were the total
amount of males and females in the house to include the head. Since 1850 the name of each member in the
household is listed. Unfortunately, the 1890 Census was destroyed by fire.
