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." CENSUS-YEAR 1850 SLAVE SCHEDULE MICROFILM #M432-226 STATE KENTUCKY COUNTY LETCHER ---------------------Begin Actual Transcription--------------------------- =============================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1850 SLAVE STATE: KENTUCKY COUNTY: LETCHER DISTRICT: FIRST DISTRICT MICROFILE: M432-226 ENUMERATOR: JOHN BURNS PAGE NO: 175 HANDWRITTEN: BLANK ENUM/DATE: AUGUST 21, 1850 =============================================================================================== FUGI. #MANU- DEAF Slave Owner # OF DESCRIPTION FROM MITTED DUMB LN# LAST NAME FIRST NAME SLAVES AGE SEX CLR STATE (FREED) BLIND TRANSCRIBER REMARKS (1) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) =============================================================================================== LEFT SET OF COLUMNS L-1 Adams Moses 1 55 F B . . . .
