Warwick County, Virginia 1810 Census by John Vogt

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

Illustrations, maps, full name index.

This is the first surviving census for Warwick, since both the 1790 and 1800 censuses have been lost. A complete index is included for easy access. Warwick was an important Chesapeake county with a heavy slave population outnumbering the white population three to two, and the census record covers 143 households. The manuscript itself is faded but readable, and every name in the document has been recovered. This document should be a complement to the fine work of Roger Ward on land taxes in the county.

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!
