Excerpt from Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States, Taken in the Year 1790: Vermont A summary of the results of the First Census, not ih cluding the returns for South Carolina, was transmitted to Congress by President Washington on October 27, 1791. The legal period for enumeration, nine months, had been extended, the longest time consumed being eighteen months in South Carolina.

The original schedules of the First Census are now contained in '26 bound volumes, preserved in the Cen sus Othee. For the most part the headings of the schedules were written in by hand. Indeed, up to and including 1820, the assistant marshals generally used for the schedules such paper as they happened to have, ruling it, writing in the headings, and binding the sheets together themselves. In some cases merchants' account paper was used, and now and then the sebed ules were bound in wall paper.
