This census was taken in 1810, before the township of Towamensing split into two and before that part of Northampton County became Carbon County. My 5th great grandfather, Theobald Straub (Dewald Stroup), appears here.<\/p>\n

The 1810 federal census recorded approximately 489 inhabitants in 84 households. The township had a notably young population, with slightly more than half of its residents under the age of sixteen. Children under ten alone accounted for approximately one-third of all inhabitants. Males slightly outnumbered females, 256 to 233, while only 69 residents were aged 45 or older. Households averaged nearly six people, reflecting a community in which large families and multigenerational or extended households were common possibilities.<\/p>\n

The official enumeration day of the 1810 census was 6 August 1810. All questions asked were supposed to refer to that date. The enumeration was to be completed within nine months, but the due date was extended by law to ten months.\u00a0Enumerators of the 1810 census were asked to include the following categories in the census: name of head of household; number of free white males and females in age categories: 0 to 10, 10 to 16, 16 to 26, 26 to 45, 45 and older; number of other free persons except Indians not taxed; number of slaves; and town or district and county of residence. The categories allowed Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. Most entries are arranged in the order of visitation, but some have been rearranged to appear in alphabetical order by initial letter of the surname.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Children and young people predominated. There were 251 residents under age 16, representing 51.3% of the population.<\/li>\n
  • One-third of residents were younger than ten. The census counted 166 children in this age group.<\/li>\n
  • Males slightly outnumbered females. There were 256 males (52.4%) and 233 females (47.6%).<\/li>\n
  • There were 111 females and 127 males aged 16 or older. These figures describe age groups, not marital status.<\/li>\n
  • Only 69 residents (14.1%) were aged 45 or older. The census does not distinguish people in their fifties from those in their seventies or eighties.<\/li>\n
  • Households averaged about 5.8 people. However, census households could include relatives, servants, laborers, and other people living together, not just parents and children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
