1800 Federal Census
(As part of Massachusetts)

The 1790-1840 schedules furnish only the names of the free heads of family, not of other family members. These schedules totaled the number of other family members, without name, by free or slave status. Also, the sex and age categories that the schedules first used only for free whites from 1790 through 1810 eventually applied to other persons, and the age categories increased after 1790. Maine's 1800 census schedules are separate from those of Massachuetts. The Maine 1800 Census records are extant for all counties except part of York (missing Hiram and Sanford).

Maine in 1800 consisted of the following counties: Cumberland, Hancock, Kennebec, Lincoln, Washington, and York.

There are two terrific Census Projects run by USGenWeb Project members.
