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 #M432-227 STATE KENTUCKY COUNTY OWSLEY ---------------------Begin Actual Transcription--------------------------- =============================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1850 SLAVE STATE: KENTUCKY COUNTY: OWSLEY DISTRICT: NOT STATED MICROFILE: M432-227 ENUMERATOR: LUTHER BRAWNER PAGE NO: 439 HANDWRITTEN: BLANK ENUM/DATE: AUGUST 9, 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 Dickerson A R 1 20 M B . . . .
