John Vogt's transcription of the Bedford County, Virginia 1810 Census, from the original images.

Illustrations, map.

This is the first surviving census for Bedford, since both the 1790 and 1800 censuses have been lost. Bedford was an important county with a heavy slave population (6,147), and the census records a large total population in excess of 16,000. The manuscript itself is in very poor condition.

Of ninety-four county and municipal census records for 1810 transcribed to date, Bedford posed the greatest number of challenges in style, readability, condition of the manuscript, and over-all presentation of data. William Key, the assistant marshall and enumerator for the county, chose a unique method of recording the data. Each folio was divided into two columns (cf. Folio 452, page vii), and this allowed 40-45 names to be transcribed per sheet. Unfortunately, there are smaller margins remaining on the left and right, and portions of the edges have fallen away over the centuries. In addition, the manuscript suffered from both water damage and a resultant severe fading along the outside portions. This is especially true for the left-hand column of each sheet, where many of the names are illegible. Finally, in an effort to prevent further deterioration, early archival conservationists placed reinforcing tape along the bottom edges (and occasionally the right edge). In almost every case, the tape is so opaque that the line of data it covered was lost. The two page examples reproduced in the introduction (folios 452 and 453) actually are “good” sheets, and many others were more seriously degraded.

Two unnumbered sheets were discovered in the transcription, the first following folio 457 and the second following folio 458. All of the other sheets, both verso and recto, carry a unique sequence of numbering from 452 through 491. In this transcription the numbers “457R” and “458R” have been assigned to these unnumbered pages.

This and other 1810 censuses are transcribed by the author from the original images, and while many of Virginia's censuses are available online, they oftentimes are replete with misreadings. Caveat emptor!

Comfort& Quality
Size: 20" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
Excellent shirt. Ordered for a Risky Business bar crawl and the fabric was so much nicer than the other two options I ordered. It is packaged so nice with pins and feels luxurious (great if you’re giving it as a gift.) It comes wrinkled from being folded in the packaging, but i steamed it and then it did not wrinkle while driving or sitting throughout the night. It’s nice and light. Only downfall is there is no pleat in the back.

Nice shirt.
Size: 17.5" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
It fit perfectly and looked very nice. However, it was much thinner than I thought. And when you wash it, get ready to iron it. This is not a permanent press shirt. It is not wrinkle resistant. I would not buy it again.

Casual Crew Neck Summer Shirt
Color: Denim Blue, Size: XX-Large
Ordered the dark blue. It fits great and looks wonderful on. Very comfortable! Good value, and feels well made. The fabric is just right – not too thin, or thick. I wore it with a navy blazer and beige pants to an outdoor event (shade and sun) and was totally comfortable.

Nice shirt!
Color: Black, Size: Large
When I lost weight and hit my goal I wanted to purchase new clothing. I discovered Coofandy on Amazon and could not be happier. This line of clothing is great. I have purchased a handful of shirts and shorts and liked all of them. This shirt fits well, I tried a medium initially and it was a bit too small so I moved up to a Large. Prior to my weight loss I was always an X-large. Shirt looks nice and fits great. I have this shirt in 3 colors now.
