Population -
1790-1820
Total population is a count of all inhabitants, except Indians not taxed
(i.e. Indians still under tribal relations or on reservations), at their
usual place of residence as of the first Monday of August. Thus, total
population includes every person living on and omits all children born
after the first Monday of August. Place of residence generally means the
place where a person lives and sleeps most of the time, and is not
necessarily the same as the legal residence, voting residence, or
domicile.
