Often, individuals who were missed on the regular U.S. census will appear on the agricultural census. Six of the agricultural censuss original forty-eight columns are transcribed here: name of owner, improved acreage, unimproved acreage, cash value of farm, value of farm implements and machinery, and value of livestock. This volume covers the counties of: Barbour, Berkeley, Boone, Braxton, Brooke, Cabell, Doddridge, Fayette, Greenbrier, Gilmer, Hampshire, Hancock, Hardy, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, and Logan. A surname index augments the records.
