[Note A:  Including Hebrews.]

New Jersey presented a more complex problem.  Here were Welsh and Swedes, Finns and Danes, as well as French, Dutch, Scotch, Irish, and English.  A careful analysis was made of lists of freeholders, and other available sources, in the various counties.  The results of these computations in the States from which no schedules of the First Census survive are given in Table B printed on page 28.

The calculations for the entire country in 1790, based upon the census schedules of the States from which reports are still available and upon estimates for the others are summed up in the following manner:
