[Chapter] 4     CENSUS OF 1790


   On 1 March 1790, President George Washington signed into law the first
Census Act of the United States of America.  The responsibility for deter-
mining the manner in which the first complete listing of the inhabitants of 
the country was to be compiled was placed upon the president himself. 
Although historians are still not certain exactly what method the president 
used, it is commonly assumed that he delegated the major responsibility 
for its enactment to the marshals of the several existing judicial districts.

   The instructions in the law were to ascertain the number of inhabitants
of each county or district in the thirteen states that existed at the time; 
to indicate the sex and color of these persons; and to enumerate the free 
males sixteen years of age and over.  Indians, not being taxed, were not 
included, and a careful distinction was made between free inhabitants and 
slaves (including indentured servants bound to service for only a short
period of time).  Although the Constitution called only for a simple enu-
meration of the inhabitants of the land, the census of 1790 was undoubt-
edly used to obtain knowledge of the military strength and industrial 
potential of the country.

   The actual compiling of the census was a very difficult and often
dangerous task.  Enormous areas of the eastern portion of the country were
still wilderness and even in the most heavily populated areas, 
transportation was primitive and unreliable.  As a result, the schedules 
obtained in this first census were not altogether consistent in their 
content and

form.  They are, however, considered accurate and complete.  Unfortunately, 
the Capitol was burned by the British forces during the War of 
1812, and the schedules for the areas that constituted the present states of 
Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia were destroyed.

   The records which escaped destruction have proven inestimably valuable, 
for they show a complete listing of the heads of all families living in 
the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.  These 
schedules contain over 400,000 names, and since each family averages six 
persons, historians have estimated the population of the country in 1790 
to have been approximately 3,231,533.

   Below are listed the names of all the heads of families bearing the 
name Coleman in twelve of the thirteen original states (the schedules of 
Delaware having been destroyed in 1812 and those of Virginia having been 
reconstructed from state enumerations taken in the years 1782, 1783, and 
1785).  The list numbers over 350 family heads in the states of Connecticut, 
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, 
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia.  
Following the name is the county or district (in the case of North and 
South Carolina) of domicile of the particular individual.  Additional 
names from a reconstructed 1800 census schedule (compiled from lists of 
taxpayers) for the state of Kentucky are also included.
