1850 Iowa Census Index

Gay Surname
 1850 Census - Name; age; sex; color; territory or country of birth; whether the person attended school or was married within the year; whether the person could read or write if over age twenty; whether the person was deaf-mute, blind, insane, or "idiotic"; whether or not a fugitive from the state; and real estate value. The census also asked the occupation of males over age fifteen. Separate slave schedules for 1850 asked the name of each slave-owner, the number of slaves owned, and the number of slaves manumitted (released from slavery). While the schedules, unfortunately, do not name individual slaves, they asked the age, color, sex, and whether or not slaves were deaf-mute, blind, insane, or idiotic; and whether or not a fugitive from the state.
