Slaves & Owners Enumerated

in the 1810 U.S. Census of Boone County, Kentucky

 

In 1810 only the number of slaves within a household was noted, with no record of age or gender.

 

The table below lists alphabetically all of those Boone County residents who were enumerated as having slaves as part of their household.  Although some names appear misspelled or incorrect, they have been transcribed and are recorded here as they appear to have been written in the original record, without correction or notation.

 

The 656 slaves enumerated in 1810 were listed under 147 owners' names, out of a total of 432 households enumerated in Boone County.  39 of these 147 owners had only had one slave, while nearly one-fifth of the slave owners owned half of the slaves in the county, with the average being 4 to 5 slaves per owner.  Three members of the Watts family, John, Johnson, & Nathan, formed the largest slave-owning family with 40 slaves to their names (It should be noted that these Watts may not have been related, but may have only shared the surname in common).
