Westmoreland County Pennsylvania
Transcribed by Michael Caldwell.
Westmoreland County, Fairfield Township Enumerator: David KISTLER
First column is name of head of household.
Numbered tallies following are age groups as follows:
Free white persons including heads of familiesMales: Under 5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, 90-100, 100+ [13 columns in all]
Females: Under 5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, 90-100, 100+ [13 columns in all]
Free Colored Persons
Males: Under 10, 10-24, 24-35, 35-55, 55-100, 100+ [6 columns in all]
Females:Under 10, 10-24, 24-35, 35-55, 55-100, 100+ [6 columns in all]
Notes: Since there were only 6 free colored persons in this township listing, the columns are only included in those particular families.
Names have not been alphabetized, but are given in the order taken by the census taker. The only change I have made is that the surname is given first, and in all capital letters for ease of scanning.
Legibility of this census enumeration was quite good, but in the case of uncertainty of spelling, I have included an asterisk (*) immediately following the name in question.
