Virginia Census Information
The Virginia State Census was conducted: 1782, 1783, 1784, 1785, 1786 (all partial).
The 1790 Virginia federal census is missing, therefore several Virginia state censuses were used by the Census Bureau to prepare Heads of Families, At the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790, Records of the State Enumerations 1782 to 1785 (Washington, D.C., 1908).
Virginia Substitute Census Records:
Virginia Tax Valuation Lists are one of the most valuable, and most often neglected sources of genealogical information and prove to be a great census substitute. They usually divulge the names of heads of households and other males aged 16 or over and can be used to prove parentage when no other records are available. Tax lists place individuals in a particular place at a particular time and indicate the type and amount of property owned. See The Beginner's Guide to Using Tax Lists.
