slaves in the 1800 septennial census
The State of Pennsylvania took an enumeration of taxable inhabitants every seven years. Known as the Septennial Census, this enumeration also listed slaves in each county, by township, for some of the years. The amount of information on the slaves varies by county and township. Bucks County enumerators listed only the slaveholders in each township, with the number of slaves held by each. slave
