I. POPULATION IN THE COLONIAL AND CONTINENTALPERIODS.CENSUS PROCEDURE IN COLONIAL AND CONTINENTAL PERIODS-POPULATION PRIOR TO 1790-RECENT ESTIMATES OF EARLY POPULATIONPOPULATION OF CITIES-CHANGES IN URBAN POPULATIONEnumerations of population, more or less accurate,were made in nearly all the Northern colonies duringthe Colonial period, and several of the states took oneor more censuses during the Continental period.Nearly all of these enumerations were more than asimple numbering of the people; in some instances,the inhabitants were classified by race, sex, age, andmarital condition.Colonial period (prior to 1774) .-Most of the enumerations ·of the Colonial period were made at theinstance of the British Board of Trade-which at thisperiod exercised many of the functions now vested ina colonial office-in order to obtain information whichwould be of value in the administration of the affairsof the colonies. Thus, in a sense, the British Board ofTrade was the originator of census taking ju America.These enumerations were made under the immediate supervision of the colonial governors, by sheriffs,justices of the peace, and other county or town officers.No enumeration embracing all the colonies was evermade, and in some of the colonies no accurate countof population occurred during the entire Colonialperiod. At times the board experienced great difficulty in getting the information desired. Its demandswere often but partially complied with by the colonies,were sometimes entirely ignored, and were generally a source of friction. In consequence, the population statistics given out were not always reliable.Indeed, the colonial governors encountered so manyobstacles in their attempts to make the required enumerations, that in many cases the tables prepared bythem to supply the information demanded were basedon muster rolls and lists of taxables, rather than onactual counts. Even when actual enumerations weremade, they were often incomplete or inaccurate.The small population dispersed over large areas, thedifficulties of travel, the independent spirit of the people, and the fact that in many instances the sheriffsand other officers charged with the enumeration received no compensation for their services, were all factors opposed to completeness and accuracy. "Superstition also was an influence opposed to census taking.In 1712 Governor Hunter undertook an enumeration ofthe inhabitants of New York. In writing to the homegovernment he excused the imperfection of the returnsin part by saying that 'the people were deterred bya simple superstition and observation that sickness1710TO1900.followed upon the last numbering of the people.' Governor Burnett, of New Jersey, in a communicationto the Britis!1 board in 1726, alluding to an enumeration made in New York three .Jvears before' said J 'Iwould ha Ye then ordered the like accounts to be takenin New Jersey, but I was advised that it might makethe people uneasy, they being generally of a NewEngland extraction, and thereby eJ;lthusiasts; and thatthey "\Vould take it for a repetition of the same sin thatDavid committed in numbering the people, and mightbring on the same judgments. This notion put me offat that time, but, since your lordships require it, Iwill give the orders to the sheriffs that it may be doneas soon as may be.'" 1Continental period (1774-1789) .-The Colonial periodin North America had covered more than a centuryand a half, and the policy of the board of trade iii.demanding exact returns of population at frequent intervals during this period doubtless had great weightin educating the people of the colonies to an appreciation of the value of accurate statistical information. Itis significant, at least, that the states which took censuses in the Continental period upon their own initiative, after having thrown off the yoke of Great Britain,were those in which, as colonies, enumerations hadbeen made by British authority; while those stateswhich made no such enumerations were in the mainthose in which no colonial enumerations had beenmade. The Continental censuses are of great interest,and, so far as accuracy and completeness are concerned, probably compare well with the first Federalcensus. Especially to be noted is th(3 Rhode Islandcensus of 1774, in which the schedule of enumerationis almost identical with that of the Federal census of1790.The necessity for a national census, comprehenclingall the states, became apparent early in the Continentalperiod. During the War of the Revolution, the Continental Congress had authorized and directed theissue of 3,000,000 in bills of credit. It had alsoresolved that the credit of the Thirteen United Colonies should be pledged for the redemption of thesebills; that each colony should provide ways andmeans to redeem its proportion in such manner asit should see fit ; that the proportion of each colonyshould be determined by the number of its inhabitants1Johnston's New Universal Encyclopaedia, vol. I, page 845.(3)

A CENTURY OF POPULATION GROV\'TH.4of all ages, including negroes and mulattoes; and thatit should be recommended to the colonial authoritiesto ascertain in the most confidential manner theirrespectiYe populations, and to send the returns, properly authenticated, to Congress. :Massachusetts andRhode Island took a censas upon this recommendation in 177G, but most of the colonies failed to comply.In ovember, 1781, a resolution vrns introduced inCongress recommending to the several states thatthey make un enumeration of their lrhite inhabitantspursuant to the ninth article of the Confederation.The resolution failed to pass and the article ·wasinoperative. Several of the states, however, madean enumeration about this time. The question ofa settlement of the national debt became continuallymore serious, and the unwillingness of some of thestates to order a general census and assume theirequitable proportion made it apparent that a completeenumeration of the inhabitants of the country couldnever be made except by a central directing authority.Hence, when the Constitutional Convention met, allmembers seem to have been agreed that a provisionfor a Federal census at stated intervals should beincorporated in the Constitution.CENSUSES PRIOR TO1790.The following table shows the number of officialof the inhabitants, of which record has beenfound, made in each of the colonies before 1790:censuse ?."UMBER OF s . iNew England colonies .iIi moo to1mm.II1111650 to I 1700 to 11w to 1774 to1m. i 1749.1773.1789.

Apparently the British Government desired·more definite statistical information regarding its colonies than it required concerning the British Isles.New York and Rhode Island developed the greatestaptitude for census taking; of the total of 38 enumerations made before the date of the first Federal census,18, or more than half, were made in these two colonies-11 in the former and 7 in the latter. The peopleof :Massachusetts and Connecticut manifested considerable opposition to census taking, seeing no adYantagein it to themselves, and fearing that in some Viray theinformation obtained vrnuld be used by the Britishauthorities to their disadvantage. The first census em.bracing all the inhabitants of Connecticut was t:aken in1756, and the first in Massachusetts not until 1764when the general court, after continued demands fromthe governor, and fearing longer to irritate British authority, ordered a general census. Pennsylvania andDelaware, as "\\"ell as the Southern colonies, present amarked contrast to New York; so far as appe irs, theFederal census of 1790 was the first thorough enumeration ever made within the borders of any o:f them,except Virginia.The records of enumerations before 1790 are in manycases fragmentary; often totals only are given, and insome instances the results of the same enumeration arereported differently by different authorities. It mustbe remembered, however, that correct enumeration ofany community is at 9est a difficult task, and the results of early censuses in every country haYe beeninaccurate and disappointing. The later censuses inthe Colonial period and most of those of the ContinentaI period, 1vere more accurate, and compare wellwith the first Federal census.The follo1ving paragraphs present, for each of thecolonies in turn, the general results of all known enumerations up to 1790, together with the estimatesmade by colonial governors and other officials whichappear to possess a fair degree of accuracy, and alsocertain estimates by modern students of Colonial population.

POPULATION IN COLONIAL AND CONTINENTAL PERIODS.The census of 177 5 was taken in order t"o ascertainthe quantity of arms and ammunition in the province,and to correct the wild estimate made by Congress of102,000 inhabitants, exclusive of slaves.Massachusetts (including Maine).-The first censusin Massachusetts was one of the "negro slaves, bothmales and females, 16 years old and upward," orderedin 1754, and finished in the beginning of 1755. Theearliest recorded movement for a census of all the inhabitants was begun in 1760, and the resulting censuswas taken in 1764-65. This census was comprehensivein its scope, and the schedule of information strikinglyresembles that of the first Federal census. It wasordered in 1764, and by the terms of the act was tohave been completed by the last of that year; but theselectmen in some of the towns were negligent and dilatory, and did not send in their returns as required. OnMarch 5, 1765, an act was approved by the governorby which the selectmen were required to complete thecensus and make their returns before May 25 following,under a penalty of 50. But even then, either sometowns failed to make returns or else the returns havebeen lost. 1This census was taken according to the followingschedule:u1te peopl e, un d er 16 years {Male.Female.Tm.nTI lh·lb16 years {Male.vv ite peop e, a oveFemale.Families.Houses.Males.Negroes and mulattoes { Fema1es.Indians {Males.Females.The followinO' are contemporary estimates of thecombined pop lation of Massachusetts and Maine(including New Hampshire in 1665):1632. - - - - - - - --- - - - - . - - . - . - - - - - - . - - . - - - - - - . - . - - - 2, 3001643 ·-·----·-····----·-· 16,000to17,0001665. - - - - - - ----- - - - . - - - - - - - - - . - . - . - - - - - - - . - . - - - 30, 0001675. - - -. - - ---- - - - . - - - - - . - . - . - - - - - - - - - . - . - - . - - - 33, 0001692. - - - - - - -- -- - . - - . - . - - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - . - - . - - - 60, 0001721. - - -- - - - --- - - - - - - - . - - - - . - - - - . - . - - - - - - . - . - . - 94, 0001735. - - - - - - -. -- - . - - - - - . - . - - . - . - . - - . - - - - . - . - . - - . 145, -----· 165,0001751. - - - - - - - -- -- - - - . - -". - - - - - - . - . - - . - - - - . - . - - - . - 165, 0001755 . . - . - - --· - -- - . - . -· -- . --·-. -- . 200, 000The estimate given for 1735 includes 2,600 negroes,and that for 1755 includes from 4,000 to 5,000.

The population given above for 1782 is the estimate made by Thomas Jefferson, based on the list forthat year. 1The meager data on which :Mr. Jefferson's estimatewas based were that in 1782, in all but 8 of the Virginia counties, there were 53,289 free males 21 years ofage and over, 211,698 slaves (of both sexes and allages), and 23,766 "tithable slaves" (apparently slaves16 years of age and over); and that in the 8 countiesnot included in the list of polls there were, in 1779 and1780, 3,161 militia.Mr. Jefferson made :five assumptions: (1) That thenumber of persons under 16 years of age equaled thenumber 16 years and over; (2) that the number ofmales from 16 to 20 years of age, inclusive, was equalto the number of unmarried men in the militia (malesbetween 16 and 50 years), which was one-third of thetotal number in the militia, or about one-fourth of allmales 16 years and over; (3) that the number offemales equaled the number of males; (4) that thenumber of free males 16 years of age and over in 1782,in the 8 counties not included in the list of polls, wasequal to the number of the militia in those counties in1779 and 1780; (5) that the ratio of free to slave population was the same in these 8 counties as in the rest ofthe state.With the facts and the basis outlined above, Mr.Jefferson evolved the following data:Popu.lation of Virginia in .178!.iPOPULATION.'
