Pittsylvania County was formed in 1767 from Halifax, but it was 83 years before the full names of those living in each household were written down. This transcription of the 1850 census gives the names of each person in the household with their age and occupation. The value of their personal and real property is noted with the birthplace of that person. The 1850 census started a real trend in census taking and is very valuable for the researcher.

Example from this volume:
