Some names get left off due to clerical error or poor images, so I decided, since I look through these page alot, to include some names I noticed were missing. Some of these names I was able to see on other census records.


First up:

1820 CENSUS, BROAD CREEK HUNDRED:

Zecheriah DAWSON; image 4 (document page 390), 45 yrs and up, bottom of page. Faded due to poor image.

Purnal OUTTON; image 4 (doc pg 390), 45 yrs and up, bottom of page. Faded due to poor image.

Aann HILL or Aaron HILL(see note); image 6 (document pg 394), Female 45 yrs and up, Male 26-44, bottom of page. Faded due to poor image. NOTE: Aaron is what was transcribed on Ancestry, but what they transcribe as 'r's are how we make modern 'r's, and not the way this taker wrote his 'r's. I think it is Aann or Aanon with a blank space representing the missing 'o' or some other letter.


1820 CENSUS, LITTLE CREEK HUNDRED:

Thomas HOOPPER; free black male, 45 yrs and up, bottom of image 8, Broad Creek (but Hoopper is located in the 1/2 page of Little Creek Hun) (doc page 398). Cut off from bottom due to poor image; non-existent. Due to Ancestry's no second page, I'll include Mr HOOPPER's free black family here: 1 male 45 and up (Mr Hoopper prossibly), 1 male, 26-44, 3 males 0-13, 1 female 26-44. Ancestry mistranscribes the name as HUPPER.

John (see note) MCDOWEL; 45 yrs and up, image 2 (document pg 402), bottom of page. Non-existent on image. NOTE: Ancestry mistranscribes this as John MCDONEL. Also, on the clear image I was able to find, there is a mark between "John" and "McDowel" that could represent a middle initial (almost thought it was 'S', but concluded it was just a mark due to the taker's other capital 'S's).

William MOORE, JUNR; 45 yrs and up, image 3 (document pg 404). Dark, unreadable. NOTE: Ancestry correctly transcribes him as William MOORE, but leaves off the Junior title, and you wouldn't know it was there unless you went to another census source. It could be interpreted as "Senior", but imo, it was at first written "Senr" and then overwritten to make "Jnr" "Junr" or "Jenr" with the 'J' replacing the incorrectly written 'S'; I am not 100% sure. It's not clear enough to be empiracal.



NOTE:
1) Ancestry.com's 1820 census does not contain the second page, having failed to get the images. The images can be found through other resources online and at librarys. The information from the second pages were transcribed, but the accuracy of those transcriptions I have not tested personally. The second page contains the following: foriegn born not naturalized, profession types, black slaves ages, free black's ages, and "all other persons except indians taxed".
2) Sussex county did not include the last column on their census form, "all other persons except indians taxed". Also, its difficult to see the first column of the second page, "foriegners not naturalized" due to photographing problems (page seam) and some pages are torn on the origionals. A way around the torn pages issue is by looking at the totals of "foriegners not naturalized" at the end of the census takers entree's where he has totals of all his work. This is helpful, because if you count back all the one's you do see, you can tell if any are missing...or not. You can tell the next three columns after that by the double lines noting federal interest, all dealing with professions (agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce). Also, on the first page, double lines are given to males aged 16-18, because of the war of 1812; another federal government interest.
3) I had some named above that I deleted because, although the persons on the images were not readable (or non existent at the bottom of page), Ancestry correctly transcribed them, so if a name was put in 'search' you would find the individual.


That's it for today. More to come later. Farwell for now. Feel welcome to add to the list.
