Census Records Of Fauquier Co., Va.

Census Records of

Fauquier County, Va.

The first census record is page 70 from 1820 Fauquier Co., Va. and shows
Baldy Lunceford on line 7. You'll also notice that the surname was originally mis-spelled, the census taker inserted the "n" over the top between the "uc."
The top of the page shows the number of free white males, free white females, slaves, and free colored persons. These categories are broken down by age group. These are, "Under 10 yrs. of age, Of 10 & under 16, Of 16 &under 18 including heads of families, Of 18 &under 26 including heads of families, Of 26 & under 45 including heads of families, Of 45 & upwards including heads of families.
I haven't included the entire record for the sake of available space and legibility.

The next census record is page 71 from 1820 Fauquier Co., Va. The first entry on this page is for Baldwin Lunceford. The census taker had over-indulged with the "L" on the surname and had to write the "in" over the top of "Baldw" on the first name. The categories and heading is the same as I explained above.
Unfortunately, the census takers of this time were allowed to gather the information, sort it alphabetically by surname, and then transcribe the information to another form. This destroys any possibility of determining whose neighbor was whom. These Lunceford families could have lived right next to each other or at opposite ends of the county.

I would also point out that on the first page, line 5 is a John Lomax. I'm not sure how close the connection of this Lomax family might be to Sir Thomas Lunsford. But, as you might remember, Sir Thomas's granddaughter, Elizabeth, married a John Lomax and built the house at Portabago. They were the parents of Lunsford Lomax and this John could be related to him. Interesting, huh?

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know concerning these records.
