To locate existing colonial censuses and lists of petitioners, taxpayers, militia lists, freeholders (those who owned property), and persons taking oaths of allegiance, use John D. Stemmons, ''The United States Census Compendium'' (Logan, Utah: Everton Publishers, 1973; FHL book 973 X2st). | Colonial censuses were taken approximately every ten years beginning in 1690.
