Names are given in the same order as on the original microfilm. I listed the surnames in all capital letters for ease of scanning. If a given name was abbreviated by the enumerator, I have listed it the same way. Legibility was average at best in the original, and in the case of ambiguity or unclear names, an asterisk (*) follows the name in question. This applies both to given names and surnames. The original census enumerators of 1790 had very different styles of penmanship which may be cause for some confusion over two hundred years later.
