Yes,

The numbers appear, but I don't have the legend with me.
The numbers are close. I don't think that they carried the column of 100+.
As in the 1810 Census there are only 5 digits, then --, then 5 more, those
are each for male and female, the last 2 digits are for the first one Slaves
and the second one for Indians. Both digits on the end count the number of
'Slaves' or 'Indians' not the sex of each.

So, in 1810 there are 5+5+2, in 1820 there are 6+6, in 1830 (I can't seem to
find in my mess) 1840 13+13+FPC, (free people of color) in both male and
females.

I hope this helps and maybe somebody out there has the legend for
1830.
