Copyright (c) 2000 by Dorothy Oberhausen. This transcription of the 1830 Madison County, Missouri Federal census was taken from a diazo microfilm, National Archives number M19-73. This is the first Federal census of Madison County. It was performed by Moses Cox, who was one of the trustees of Fredericktown, the county seat, when it was organized in 1827. He was a county court judge for the 1831 and 1832 term and owner of one of the first stores in Fredericktown. Mr. Cox wrote in a firm legible script with a fine ink that has not faded. No dates are recorded on the census. Running totals for each of the 59 columns for each individual in each township are kept at the top and bottom of each page and they are recapitulated at the end. And following that is an overall list for the townships: St. Michael Township Frederick Town 129 St. Michael Village 35 St. Michael Township 901 Castor Township 586 Twelve Mile Township 176 Liberty Township 238 German Township 306 2371 Mr. Cox used a whole row to record the division of one township from the next; these breaks are recorded in the "Remarks" column at the extreme right end of this transcription as are the hand written page numbers.
