Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line. Thus you find, e.g., especially in these two wards, parents and older siblings born in this country and the youngest members of families born in Ireland, Germany, etc. When such discrepancies occur, you should consult the original. In the first volume of this series, Wards I & II, the enumerator's signature appears on the last pages of each ward. This is not true with the final pages of Wards III & IV, neither on the microfilm nor in the originals. This suggests to me that we do not know if these wards arc complete. The pages of the original enumerations are not in proper sequence, nor is the microfilm copy. The families are presented here in the numerical order in which they were recorded. All information contained in the original census has been recorded here except for dwelling house number, which has no genealogical value. We have listed the census information in the following format: First - The number of family in the "order of visitation." This number was generated by the census enumerator in numerical sequence within the ward. Second - The name of one of the members of the household, almost always the head of the household, appears first. The names of every person whose usual abode was in this family on 1 June 1860 is contained in this paragraph. Third - Age and sex. Fourth - Color. When no color is given, White is assumed. B signifies Black and M signifies Mulatto. Fifth - Profession, occupation or trade of each person, male and female, over 15 years of age. Sixth - Value of Real Estate/Value of Personal Estate. Seventh - Place of birth. (Sometimes recorded as "at sea.") Eighth - If married within the year, an "m" is shown. Ninth - If the individual attended school within the year, "s" is given. Tenth - Persons over 20 years of age who cannot read or write are indicated by an asterisk (*). Eleventh - An entry signifying that the person is "deaf and dumb," blind, insane, idiotic, or a convict. To save space, last names and places of birth were not repeated when they were the same as the preceding. Semicolons separate each individual within a household entry. Commas separate entries pertaining to a specific person. n ] The index is a COMPLETE index, giving full names of all persons shown in this book. They arc indexed by entry number, not page number. E.g. 3-114 is Ward Three, Household #114; 4-12 is Ward Four, Household #12. An explanation of a household, household 3-1 (Ward 3, entry number 1) follows. The entry reads, Henry LAWSON 38m, ship smith, /1000, Va; Virginia 30f, Md; Albert 9m, s; William 4m; Elenora 2f; Henry lm; Charles BUCHEN 21m, shipsmith, Pa. These are the persons residing within the household surveyed. Henry Lawson is a white (assumed) 38 year-old male. His occupation is ship smith and he was born in Virginia. He possesses $1000 in the value of his personal estate (with no value held in real estate). Virginia (also Lawson) is a white (assumed) 30 year-old female born in Maryland. Albert (also Lawson) is a 9 year-old white (assumed) male, who was born in Maryland (referring back to last listed entry), and has attended school within the year. William (also Lawson) is a 4 year-old white (assumed) male, born in Maryland. Elenora is a 2 year-old white (assumed) female, born in Maryland. Charles BUCHEN also resides in the household. He is a white (assumed) 21 year-old male who is a ship smith, and he was born in Pennsylvania. This is the second in a series of books that on completion will cover all 20 wards of the Baltimore City Census for the year 1860. Wards I & II covered the waterfront areas of Fells Point and Canton. Wards III & IV cover the section of Baltimore once known as Old Town, and are located just north and west of the harbor area. Thanks again to Mr. Wesley L. Wilson of Enoch Pratt Free Library's Maryland Department in Baltimore for the map which accompanies this volume and to Mr. Thomas Hollowak of Baltimore City Archives for the use of their 1860 Baltimore City Directory. This book could not have been completed without the cooperation of Sharon Fawcett and her helpful staff at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
