About 1840 United States Federal Census
This database details those persons enumerated in the
1840 United States Federal Census, the Sixth Census of the
United States. In addition, the names of those listed on
the population schedule are linked to the actual images of
the 1840 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives
and Records Administration microfilm, M704, 580 rolls.
Each name is associated with two images as the 1840 census
schedule was two pages long. Be sure to view the image on
which you find your ancestor's name as well as the
following image, which should be the continuing census
page, in order to obtain all possible information about
your ancestor.
Enumerators of the 1840 census were asked to include
the following categories in the census: name of head of
household; number of free white males and females in age
categories: 0 to 5, 5 to 10, 10 to 15, 15 to 20, 20 to 30,
30 to 40, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60 to 70, 70 to 80, 80 to
90, 90 to 100, over 100; the name of a slave owner and the
number of slaves owned by that person; the number of male
and female slaves and free "colored" persons by
age categories; the number of foreigners (not naturalized)
in a household; the number of deaf, dumb, and blind
persons within a household; and town or district, and
county of residence.
Additionally, the 1840 census, asked for the first
time, the ages of revolutionary war pensioners and the
number of individuals engaged in mining, agriculture,
commerce, manufacturing and trade, navigation of the
ocean, navigation of canals, lakes and rivers, learned
professions and engineers; number in school, number in
family over age twenty-one who could not read and write,
and the number of insane. The categories allowed Congress
to determine persons residing in the United States for
collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the
House of Representatives.
Few, if any, records reveal as many details about
individuals and families as do the U.S. federal censuses.
The population schedules are successive
"snapshots" of Americans that depict where and
how they were living at particular periods in the past.
Because of this, the census is often the best starting
point for genealogical research after home sources have
been exhausted.
The United States was the first country to call for a
regularly held census. The Constitution required that a
census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not
taxed" be performed to determine the collection of
taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790-1870
were organized under the United States Federal Court
system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who
hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors
were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1840 census was 1
June 1840. All questions asked were supposed to refer to
that date. The count was due within nine months, but the
due date was extended by law to allow completion within
eighteen months. By 1840, there were a total of twenty-six
states in the Union, with Arkansas and Michigan being the
latest additions. The two new territories of Wisconsin and
Iowa were also enumerated.

About 1850 United States Federal Census
This database details those persons enumerated in the
1850 United States Federal Census, the Seventh Census of
the United States. In addition, the names of those listed
on the population schedule are linked to the actual images
of the 1850 Federal Census, copied from the National
Archives and Records Administration microfilm, M432, 1009
rolls. (If you do not initially find the name on the page
that you are linked to, try a few pages forward or
backward, as sometimes different pages had the same page
number.)
For the first time in the history of the United States
census, enumerators of the 1850 census were instructed to
record the names of every person in the household. Added
to this, enumerators were presented with printed
instructions, which account for the greater degree of
accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were
asked to include the following categories in the census:
name; age as of the census day; sex; color; birthplace;
occupation of males over age fifteen; value of real
estate; whether married within the previous year; whether
deaf-mute, blind, insane, or "idiotic"; whether
able to read or write for individuals over age twenty; and
whether the person attended school within the previous
year. No relationships were shown between members of a
household. The categories allowed Congress to determine
persons residing in the United States for collection of
taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of
Representatives.
Few, if any, records reveal as many details about
individuals and families as do the U.S. federal censuses.
The population schedules are successive
"snapshots" of Americans that depict where and
how they were living at particular periods in the past.
Because of this, the census is often the best starting
point for genealogical research after home sources have
been exhausted.
The 1850 Census includes the following states and
territories: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota Territory
(includes Dakota area), Mississippi, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico Territory (includes
Arizona area), New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon
Territory (includes Washington and Idaho areas),
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah Territory, Vermont, Virginia (includes West
Virginia counties), Wisconsin.
The United States was the first country to call for a

were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1850 census was 1
June 1850. All questions asked were supposed to refer to
that date. By 1850, there were a total of thirty-one
states in the Union, with Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin,
and California being the latest editions. The four new
territories of Oregon, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Utah
were also enumerated. There were no substantial state- or
district-wide losses.

I saw your post re: DICKSON family in Clark Co., AR. Following
is the info
that I have in my Clark Co. book. Around 1833, the WILLIAM T.
DICKSON
family moved from TN to Pike Co., AR. This particular family was
headed by
WILLIAM T. DICKSON, born in KY, and his wife, NANCY, born in SC.
They had at
least one son, JOHN W. DICKSON, born in TN, before they migrated
west. They
moved to Missouri Township in Pike Co., just east of
Murfreesboro, and had:
W. J. DICKSON, GEORGE WASHINGTON DICKSON, ELIZABETH DICKSON,
FRANCIS DICKSON,
MARION DICKSON, MARY DICKSON, and ABNER H. DICKSON. George
Washington
Dickson was born ca.
1838/9. William T. and Nancy helped charter the Antioch Church
of Christ in
1833. William died about 1859.
"WASH" DICKSON grew up in Missouri and Wolf Creek
Township in Pike Co.
In 1868, at the age of 32, he married a young widow, ELBIE
HUFFMAN-WINGFIELD
of Clark Co. They lived close to his mother, Nancy Dickson, and
his younger
brother and sisters (Francis, Mary, and Abner). In 1870, they
had their 1st
son, CHARLES WINGFIELD DICKSON. Three years later, they had
another son,
WILLIAM JOSEPH DICKSON. Not too long after "Wash"
died, Elbie and the boys
moved to Clark Co. to be near her mother.
Elbie's father, JOSEPH HUFFMAN, was born in KY to JOHN and MARY
HUFFMAN
of VA in 1803, the 4th of 10 children. This family lived in
Illinois, KY,
and Missouri, before finally moving to Clark Co. Joseph Huffman
married
JAMIMA THORNTON, a daughter of WILLIAM and MARY THORTON, in
Clark Co. and
farmed with his father at Terre Noire until John's death in
1844. Joseph and
Jamima moved to Illinois briefly and had 2 children (ANDREW
JACKSON HUFFMAN
and MARY HUFFMAN. They returned to Clark Co. and had 8 more
children (HENRY
CLAY HUFFMAN, GEORGE WASHINGTON HUFFMAN, ELBIE HUFFMAN, JOSEPH
HUFFMAN, JR.,
DANIEL WEBSTER HUFFMAN, FRANKLIN HUFFMAN, GRANDISON LEROY
HUFFMAN, and JOHN
WARREN HUFFMAN). The 1860s were hard on the family. In 1861,
Joseph
Huffman, Sr. died and 2 sons, George Washington Huffman and
Daniel Webster
Huffman, were both killed in the Civil War. In 1868,
"Ellen" (Elbie) married
GEORGE WASHINGTON DICKSON at the residence of "Widow
Hoofman," as stated on
the marriage license. Jamima Huffman died in 1897.
CHARLES WINGFIELD DICKSON and JOE DICKSON were raised in western
Clark
Co., where they went to school. Apparently, there was some
misunderstanding
and the boys learned to spell the name "DIXON." Later,
Joseph married KATIE
DEVITT in 1895. They had 3 children (ERNEST DIXON, ARVESTA
DIXON, and
ARTANIA DIXON
