Maine was still part of Massachusetts in 1790 but the census schedules are separate. It was not established as the 23rd state until 1820. The population in 1790 was 96, 540. There was a total of 99 Chapmans in Maine in 1790. Twenty were males age 16 or over, 33 males under 16, 47 females and no other free persons or slaves.
Explanation for Census Headings:
The number at the left of the name is just a number assigned for our reference. It's the Chapman Number. If you need to write about an entry that is the best identifier. After the name the first two columns are males subjects- age 16 and above or less than 16. The third column is a count of the females regardless of age. The fourth column labeled is for other free subjects. The third to last column is for a count of slaves and the next column is total white persons. The last number is the census page number and finally there is a township or district when appropriate.
