Abstract
A census for agriculture and manufacturers conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the counties now a part of West Virginia. The two earlier census contain no surveys of manufacturing (see related materials note in this record). The two later schedules contain one reel for each survey on manufacturing. The 1880 census contains twice the number of reels of the 1870 census. Each type of survey has a printed form questionnaire. For agriculture, enumerations are requested for land acreage, type of livestock and dairy products, types of crops, particularly grains and forage, and cash value of the farm. The manufacturing index form gives the name of company, type of service or product, type of power source, types of machinery, types of materials utilized, labor age and wage statistics and quantity of production performed.
