About 1870 United States Federal Census
Enumerators of the 1870 census were instructed to record the names of every person in the household.
Added to this, enumerators were presented with printed instructions, which account for the greater 
degree of accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were asked to include the following 
categories in the census: name; age at last birthday (if a child was under one year of age, months of 
age were to be stated as fractions, such as 1/12); sex; color; profession; occupation or trade of every 
male and female; value of real estate; place of birth; whether mother and father were of foreign birth; 
whether born or married within the year and the month; those who could not read; those who could not 
write; whether deaf, dumb, blind, or insane or "idiotic". No relationships were shown between members 
of a household. The categories allowed Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for 
collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives.
The United States was the first country to call for a regularly held census. The Constitution required that 
a census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not taxed" be performed to determine the collection of taxes 
and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790-1870 
were organized under the United States Federal Court system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal 
who hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1870 census was 1 June 1870. All questions asked were supposed to refer 
to that date. The 1870 census form called for the dwelling houses to be numbered in the order of visitation; 
families numbered in order of visitation; and the name of every person whose place of abode on the first day 
of June 1870 was with the family.
