Thanks to Jamie
J Goode of Atlanta, Ga for this wonderful contribution to
the Fulton County GAGenWeb site!
Fulton became a county in 1853. This Psuedo Census of Atlanta
is extracted from the 1850 census of DeKalb Co, GA. It is the
portion called the Atlanta District and was enumerated by Wm
Goldsberry between 6 Nov and 19 Nov, 1850. The major portion
appears in The Atlanta Historical Bulletin, Vol VII, No 27,
January 1842; April 1842. Ruth Blair was the editor of this
extraction. It lists families from 1 to 394 with some omissions
and repetitions. In additon to this part is a supplement that
does not appear in the Bulletin. It was also taken by Wm Goldsberry
on 19 and 20 Nov, 1850, but he started his enumeration of families
over and it goes from 1 to 27. Mr. Goldsberry, the enumerator,
appears in the supplement at dwelling 23.
The part of the census that appears in the Bulletin is divided
into two groups. The largest group consists of families
with a head of household and family members with the same last
name. The smaller group is the boarders both in boarding
houses and living with family groups. The families are indexed
by head of household. The boarders are indexed by individuals.
The supplement is small and needs no index.
