1790 CENSUS

Bigelows from the 1790 census and/or reconstructed tax-rolls are found on the following pages. Spelling of the surname, as m the text of this book, has been standardized, i.e. spelled in the manner Bigelow regardless of how it appears on the census.
Names are arranged first by state, then alphabetically by name of Bigelow. The columns shown indicate:

head of family county
town
number in farnily
identification according to the numerical system of the Bigelow Society

For those who have not worked with the 1790 census, the five digits of the "number of family" column represent:
1. males age 16 and over, including bead-of-household
2. males under age 16
3. females, including head-of-household
4. all other free persons
5. slaves

It will be observed that in a few cases that the Bigelow head-of-household is still unidentified, or that identity is questionable. Positive identification would be welcome to the Bigelow Society.
