Burke County, North Carolina [6] |
- There are two Thomas Hemphills in Burke County in 1800; neither census record matches perfectly, but this one seems most probable. Thomas (54) is the only male in the household over the age 45. There is one female over 45 (Mary Ann, 42), one male under 10 (Thomas M, 4), four females under 10 (Ruth Bertha, 6; Rebecca,8; maybe Rachel, 10; and unidentified), three females 10 to 15 (maybe Elizabeth, 12; Jane, 15; and Mary, 22). There are also two undidentified males, one aged 10 to 15 (possibly James, 20) and one aged 16 to 25 (possibly Samuel, 25). There are 12 slaves.

Burke County, North Carolina [8] |
- Thomas M. Hemphill is enumerated as head of household and the only male aged 16 to 25. The other household member is a female aged 16 to 25, which is likely Malinda Burgin. (I feel confident that this record is them, as they were married in 1819 and their first child was not born until November 1820). One person in the household is engaged in agriculture. They had no slaves.

Elizabeth Alexander Hemphill would have been 14, but she is not enumerated in this household. Is she living with relatives or is she not the daughter of Thomas McEntire Hemphill?
