Lawrence, OH 1820 Federal Census ================================= TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES ================================= This was Lawrence County, Ohio's first Federal census, as well as most of the surrounding counties' first. Many of the townships were not yet formed. Nor did the enumerator seem to know where the boundries of the existing townships were located. Most pages were folded, overlapped, or combined together to form a full-sized page on the microflim. Therefore, most pages had more than one township listed on them. Each full-size page had a handwritten page number at the bottom, although a couple had stamped page numbers on them and one had no number on it at all. There were neither household numbers, nor line numbers on any of this census. Each transcribed section is seperated on its page with a bold line as it was seperated on the microfilm. There was a total population of 3499 enumerated in Lawrence County, Ohio for the 1820 census; 1819 males, 1657 females, and 23 free blacks. The following quantities were found in each township or area: Burlington (county seat) = 140 Fayette twp. = 436 Union twp. = 519 Symmes twp. = 247 Rome twp. = 399 Upper twp. = 414 Elizabeth twp. = 295 Windsor twp. = 440 Mason twp. = 289 Lawrence twp. = 199 Decatur twp. = 121
