PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, MARYLAND - 1776 CENSUS - Early settlers - pioneers - genea

Description

Prince George County was created by the Council of Maryland in April 1696 from portions of Charles and Calvert counties.  It was named for Prince George of Denmark, the consort of Anne, Queen of Great Britain and brother of King Christian V of Denmark and Norway.  At the time of it’s creation the county was divided into six districts also known as “Hundreds” and these were: Mattapany, Petuxant, Collington, Mount Calvert, Piscattoway and New Scotland.
In this collection of the census of the county taken due to the American Revolutionary War was underway and the county needed to know the number of fighting men on hand.  This census is shown in a facsimile of original census taker’s hand written forms.  Since there was no scandalized form, they accounting is done in several different ways in this collection.  In some cases, the head of the household is given with the names and ages of each of those living in that household, including the names and ages of the slaves.  In other cases, the names and age of the head of the household and spouse are given with the children listed by age and sex only.  The same with slaves in these cases.
Mountain Press presents this in the original format to let the reader see just exactly how the census appeared.  We chose not to abstract or just list names but let the reader see first hand how it looked.
