York County, Virginia 1810 Census by John Vogt

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

Illustrations, maps, statistical summary, arranged in original rough alphabetic index of the enumerator.

This is the first surviving census for York, which has the distinction of being one of the oldest counties in the nation. Its location astride the Virginia Peninsula, with its fine harbors and close proximity to the Virginia colonial capital of Williamsburg, attracted merchants, politicians, and artisans. Although the tide of settlement had long passed by the time of the 1810 census, many of the families who had moved on westward remained with collateral descendants in York. In addition, the enumerator of the census identified those persons residing in York Town [where Cornwallis had surrendered to end the American Revolution] as well as the environs of Williamsburg.

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!
