Thompson - Heads of Household - 1810 US Federal Census - Robeson County, North Carolina

Next let's review the 1810 United States Federal Census for Robeson County, North Carolina and then later this week we'll begin diving into a few Thompson Wills.  Wills have been a wealth of information regarding the Thompsons.  Often times we've found names of spouses, children, son or daughter-in-laws, slaves, friends and even grandchildren's name.  With the early Censuses only listing the heads of household these Wills are pure genealogy gold.

On the 1810 US Federal Census there are 13 Thompson heads of household listed.  I've included a chart below that lists heads of family, the number of free white males, free white females and slaves.

When comparing the 1810 United States Federal Census to the 1800 Census we see that there are now a few new Thompsons in the County.  Including a younger Alexander, Margaret (Perhaps the same person as M Thompson from the 1800 Census),   Rachel, Stephen Thompson and a younger William.  

We also see a few Thompsons no longer reside in the county, namely Henry, one of the three Johns is now gone and one of the older Williams.
