This, a forerunner of the federal census of 1790, is of more than usual importance because during and after the Revolution there was a considerable population shift, and some individuals identified here are to be found in the 1790 census of other states. Based on original records in the N.C. Dept. of Archives and History, it lists about 14,000 household heads with an enumeration of those in each household by age, sex, and race. In addition, for the individuals named, there are references to the sources of the information.
