Important note regarding my (BarbR’s) transcription the 1890 Census:

The actual 1890 Floyd Co., Virginia Census was among those destroyed in the fire/flood in Washington. Fortunately, an abbreviated copy was made before the original was sent off & it can be found in the Floyd Co., Virginia Court House. The original was sorted 1^st by District, & 2^nd by first letter of a surname. From there it all sort of runs together. This is a sample of the original:

Alum District

Laurence, Darius 37

Emma Z. 35

Malonia A. 14

Posie S. 12

Authur L. 10

Garland 5

Maimie M. 3

German S. 5 mo

Asa H. 42

Elizabeth 42

Kemper G. 15

Minnie A. 13

Albert W. 9

Cleveland 4

Fitzhue 3

Alabama 4 mo

I see the above as 2 families, one headed by Darius & the other by Asa and from other records (1880 Census, 1900 Census, Marriages et al) we know that this is the case. Therefore, to make this transcript user friendly for my own research, I chose to separate into family groups whenever possible & then sorted the individual families or individuals alphabetically. An example using the above + a family from another District:

Alum Ridge

Laurence, Asa H. 42

Elizabeth 42

Kemper G. 15

Minnie A. 13

Albert W. 9

Cleveland 4

Fitzhue 3

Alabama 4 mo

Alum Ridge

Laurence, Darius 37

Emma Z. 35

Malonia A. 14

Posie S. 12

Authur L. 10

Garland 5

Maimie M. 3

German S. 5 mo

Jacksonville

            Lawrence, Thomas 65

Lulah E. 23

And as usual, over the years I have added notes to myself & will continue to do so. I have chosen to leave these annotations in this posted transcription as this is also the version I will be using. Ignore if you wish. (surnames with [] are a reference to Families of Floyd Co., VA. This is an example of some of my scribblings:

Little River

Thomas, A. Jackson 55 yo (aka: Andrew Jackson Thomas) [thomas]

Martha A. 44 yo (noted b/4 A. Jackson so may be a different Martha)

Alexander 22

Mary J. 20

Martha L. 17

Mabel A. 14

Mildred 4

Little River

Thomas, Baily 61 [thomas]

Sallie 70

Jacksonville

Thomas, Charles 48 [thomas]

Harriett 48
