1800 Federal Census, Oglethorpe County, Georgia

 The 1790, 1800 and 1810 federal censuses for Georgia were all lost, with the exception of the 1800 Federal Census of Oglethorpe Co, GA.  A copy of that census was found, and is at FamilySearch, LDS Film # 008153346.

This is part of a series of posts on the Warnock/Silvey connection.  John Warnock was listed in the 1800 Census of Oglethorpe Co, GA, LDS Film # 008153346, image 73 of 155.  His mother-in-law, the widow Rosanna Price, is listed 8 lines before John Warnock.

The breakdown of John Warnock's family in 1800:

• 2 Males 0-9 - John P Warnock & unknown
• 1 Male 16-25 - unknown
• 1 Male 26-45 - John Warnock
• 1 Female 0-9 - probably Rosanna Warnock
• 1 Female 10-15 - probably Mary Warnock who later married Drury Silvey
• 1 Female 26-46 - Mary 'Polly' Price Warnock

Note that Mary Warnock was born 17 July 1793, so was actually only 7, but incorrectly put in the wrong age category, a common mistake in these early censuses.  The 1800 Census date was 4 Aug 1800, and the enumerator was supposed to record people in the proper age categories for their ages on that date.  The other possibility is that Mary was actually older than her reported birth year; otherwise she was very young when she married in 1807. 

The will of Robert Warnock (Oglethorpe Co, GA Will Book A:99), signed on 6 Nov 1797, named his son John Warnock, grandson John Warnock, granddaughter Rosanna Warnock and granddaughter Mary Warnock.
