Early Census of Long Island

This is a convenience post, since I find myself constantly looking for and interpreting the early Long Island Census.

Theses are the catagories for the 1776 Census:
1. Males above 50 years of age
2. Males above 16 and under 50 years of age
3. Males under 16 years of age
4. Females above 16 years of age
5. Females under 16 years of age
6. Male and Female negros above 16 years of age
7. Male and Female negros under 16 years of age

These are the categories for the 1790 Census:
1. Males 16 years of age and above
2. Males under 16 years of age
3. Females including heads of families
4. All other free persons
5. Slaves
