Head Nash County, North Carolina, USA

Clustered 1790 federal census households for Deens/Deans in Nash County, North Carolina. Tallies follow standard 1790 column definitions; a non-standard far-right TOTAL column was added by the enumerator and is preserved as recorded. This event captures county-level census presence for multiple separate households. Heads of household represented here (by PID) are Willis Deens (P00012), Thomas Deens (P00014), Henry Deens (P00015), Sherrod Deens (P00011), and Mary Deens (P00009). These links assert census presence and household headship only; they do not imply any familial relationships among the households.
