1800 US Census Study - Ebenezer Jameson (1754) family of MaineThere appears to be only one (1) Ebenezer Jameson family census available, in all of Maine, for the 1800 census period.
|
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 study is to examine and evaluate the speculation by some researchers, that an Alexander was born to this particular Ebenezer and Catherine (DeMorse) Jameson family, about 1797. We know this Alexander Jameson existed, the issue here is does he belong as a son with this family. Below is a study of the 1800 census return, which includes all expected people we know about, including the possibility of an Alexander (as if he existed within this family), to see how that compares to the actual 1800 census.
