Summary[edit]

The first census of the United States

Halifax County[edit]

The following table replicates the columns of the census; however, I have re-ordered and grouped the entries for the Echols family together (they are not alphabetized originally but they are all from Halifax County).

Name of Head of Family.	White.	Black.
Echols, John	11	8
Echols, Moses	12	8
Echols, James	8	5

Source: FamilySearch

Subsection*	Name of Head of Family	White souls	Dwellings	Other Buildings
List of Jno Coleman	Echols, John	10	1	2
List of E. King	Echols, James	9	2	2
List of J. W. P. Martin	Echols, William	9	1	3

Note this is not included in the table of the course and is instead a sub-header.
