In addition to the name of every person who lived in the household on June 1, the 1850 census provides the following information:

• Age
• Sex
• Color
• Occupation
• Value of real estate
• Place of birth
• Whether married during the year
• Whether attended school during the year
• Whether over 20 years of age and cannot read and write
• Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper or convict

I've listed every household member below, along with any other information contained in the record.
