There were 17 census returns for people with the surname Jameson in all of the state of Maine for the year 1800. Only one of these was for a person named Charles Jameson.
|
Purpose: To try and decipher the often confusing early census returns. One census return for each analysis, as many test people as necessary.
Method: Compare the values entered for the actual census in the 'brown'
row, with the known (or presumed) information in the appropriate locations for each person who might be associated with this census analysis, within the lower 'light blue' rows.
Results: The entry row that matches with the actual census results can be considered that person/family most likely a match and the person/family most likely actually in the census.
Comments: There is often more people, particularly children, on the "official" actual census that in the "known persons" area, for obvious reasons (they're not known). There is sometimes people missing on the "official" actual census that in the "known persons" area. This can be from death or someone moving out (away) of the household. |

This census is clearly allocated correctly, although the age of Ruth Horton is off about 10 years.
Note: Special recognition must go to Nancy (Nan) Flickinger (a descendant of Hugh and Janet [Brock] Jameson) for this wonderful Census Analytical Tool graphic she developed and has so generously allowed us to use. |
