Census Records: Tarver Households
Federal Census, 1790
Tarver households were enumerated in three North Carolina counties when the first complete federal census was taken in 1790. Those counties were Wake County, Robeson County and Northampton County, with the majority of Tarver households enumerated in Northampton.
There was, additionally, one TARVER houshold in Orangeburgh District, SC (census roll no. M-637_11), enumerated as follows:
The above John Tarver was in Orangeburg, SC for the 1790 and the 1800 censuses, but was in Amite Co., Mississippi for the 1810. He married (1) Elizabeth as proven by a Northampton Co., NC deed in which he sells land to William Amis acknowledged in September Court 1783, Northampton Co., NC, and registered 22 October 1783. He married (2) Easter Green Chaddick (widow of Richard Chaddick of Barnwell, SC) on June 10, 1811 in Amite Co., Mississippi. Given the data extracted to date, he would have to be the son of Samuel Tarver II and Mary Davis.
The table below shows the remaining TARVER households on the 1790 census, detailing the count for Free White (FW) Males, Free White (FW) Females, and slaves in each household.
