The Darlington Flag Newsletter
who have used the 1870 Census recognized the problems with it.
For some reason the
writing is usually of poor quality and the enumerators often had the bad
habit of using
initials instead of first names. While
nothing can be done about the first problem, Jim
Pigg has helped Chesterfield researchers by compiling the information
from the white
households of Chesterfield County. Listed
on each page of this compilation are the
household number, the last and first names, the age, sex, race,
occupation, real estate
value, personal property value, and the state of birth for each white
resident of the
county. Those who were
married within the last year and those with various afflictions
are also noted. It is hoped that Jim Pigg will continue to shed light on
Chesterfield (a
burned county) by publishing additional materials.
