"CHAPMANS" IN THE 1850 CENSUS OF TEXAS

Data extracted by Kathy Duncan.

Arranged by county, page and dwelling as censused.

For most subjects the age is expressed in years immediately after the sex entry. In some cases - particularly with infants - the age is expressed in months in which case the age column is blank. The age- when expressed in months is in the seldom used column immediately after age.

CYOB or circa year of birth is not from the census. It has been added to this draft to assist CFA researchers who may be working with this document. It was calculated by the computer by subtracting age from 1850 and is excluded for infants.

Color is shown after the circa year of birth. It is assumed to be white unless otherwise specified.

Birthplace is shown with the approved postal abbreviations for states in the U.S.Foreign places were abbreviated as follows: NR = Norway, CD = Canada.

In 1850 the Federal Census began to collect much more information than in any previous census. Some of the data is in the information column set off by vertical lines. The information is coded as follows:

S = in school this year. M = married in the census year. R = can't read and/or write

(in some cases the enumerator indicated they could not write and that is shown with a W.

Column headings not meant to line up exactly over the data but rather to give position relationship.
