Augusta County was one of the oldest counties in western Virginia. In the beginning of the county, it covered more than seven states going as far west as the Mississippi River and north to the Wisconsin area. It was later broken up into Botetourt and Fincastle [now called Kentucky]. This 1840 census includes not only the names of the head of the households and those residents within the households are given by sex/age. The freed colored are given on the first page of the census. We also include the second page which give the occupations, name and age of pensioners from the American Revolution and War of 1812, some personal data like blind, deaf, etc. On this second page are given the type of school a teacher is holding and the number of the scholars and if they are paid for privately or publically. Our 1840 census of Virginia give a lot more information on the families than just the name of the head and ages/sex of those living within that house.
