Notes: 

Names were taken from actual 1840 census pages.  Spelling was checked in the census index.  A few errors in spelling were found in the index when checked against handwriting in other entries.  

Only heads of households were named in the 1840 census.  White heads of household names are in italics where free colored were listed in the home.
