Federal Population Schedules that exist for Delaware are 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890 (fragment, see below), 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. The first census for 1790 was lost or destroyed. The claim that it was found in the Cornell University Library is unfounded, but a reconstruction from tax and assessment records was compiled by former State Archivist Leon de Valinger, Jr., and published by the National Genealogical Society as Reconstructed 1790 Census of Delaware, NGS Special Publication No. 10, 2d printing (Washington, D.C.: NGS, 1962).
There are Industry and Agriculture Schedules availible for the years 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. Slave Schedules exist for 1850 & 1860. The Mortality Schedules for the years 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. Union Veterans Schedules were conducted in 1890.
Colonial Schedules: Some earlier Delaware “censuses” have been published from tax records. These include Harold B. Hancock, ed., The Reconstructed Delaware State Census of 1782 (Wilmington, Del.: Delaware Genealogical Society, 1983), and Ronald Vern Jackson, Early Delaware Census Records 1665–1697 (Bountiful, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, 1977), compiled from tax and other lists. A 1688 census for Kent County was published in volume 37 of The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine in 1991, which corrects the incomplete “Kent County Census” in Delaware Genealogical Journal 3 (1986): 49–51.
