Notes about 1850 and 1860 Slave Census Enumerations:

For Slave number there are a number of different ways the enumerators used this field:
1) every slave is entered individually
2) every slave of the same age is entered with the number with that particular age
3) first slave number is the total number of slaves for that owner, every other slave number 
   follows one of the first 2 numbering schemes
4) slave number indicates a sequential listing of all slaves for that owner - 1 to ??

For Slave Color:
   B   - Black
   Col - Colored
   M   - Mulatto
   Y   - Yellow
On occasion, some enumerators will only list a value in this column if it is something 
other than Black.

For Slaves over 100 years old, frequently (not always) the name of the slave is listed.

While women were not supposed to be able to own property at the time of these census 
enumerations, there are numerous entries where the owner of the slaves either has a 
"female" first name or is identified as "Mrs."
