Amelia County, Virginia 1810 Census by John Vogt

John Vogt's transcription of the Amelia County, Virginia 1810 Census, from the original images.

Illustrations, map.

This is the first surviving census for Amelia, since both the 1790 and 1800 censuses have been lost. The original is in a very poor state of preservation; however, the transcriber was able to recover the majority of the faded names, with only six unreadable entries. (The computerized version available on the Web contains 204 out of 608 unreadable entries, along with other transcription errors!).

This and other 1810 censuses are transcribed by the author from the original images, and while many of Virginia's censuses are available online, they oftentimes are replete with misreadings. Caveat emptor!
