1820 LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO FEDERAL CENSUS
Alphabetically Listed by Surnames, Index Only
Compiled by Kristy Stevens from Microfilm # M33-88
This was Lawrence County, Ohio’s first Federal census and most of the surrounding county’s first. Many of the townships were not yet formed, nor did the enumerator seem to know where the boundaries of the existing townships were located.
Most pages were folded, overlapped, or combined together to form a full-sized page on the microfilm. Therefore, most pages had more than one township listed on them. Each full-size page had a handwritten page number at the bottom, although a couple had stamped page numbers, and one had no number on it.
There were neither household numbers nor line numbers on any of this census. Each transcribed section is separated on its page with a bold line as it was separated on the microfilm. Line numbers were assigned from top to bottom, of each page, for individual households only; totals lines, empty lines, or lines with “brought over” numbers were not counted.
There was a total population of 3499 enumerated in Lawrence County, Ohio, for the 1820 census; 1819 males, 1657 females, and 23 free blacks. The following quantities were found in each township or area:
Burlington (county seat) = 140
