Some of this increase may be the due to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Another note: The digital versions of the 1830 federal census records are poor, making it difficult to determine the number of white men vs. white women. For this reason, they were left out but may be added in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cf7a0373d14387da0a1ee/6dc33ea4-852c-4f30-b715-0362c1eb879c/Black+Professions+in+Tompkins+County+in+1850.png Graphs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cf7a0373d14387da0a1ee/2f23e75d-ccbf-4c56-9bc4-79c2abfb689d/Places+of+Birth+Across+Tompkins+County+in+1860+.png Graphs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cf7a0373d14387da0a1ee/b0469b37-d25e-4d55-af78-1ef24d2372c0/Tompkins+County+Demographics+for+1830.png Graphs Note: The digital versions of the 1830 federal census records are poor, making it difficult to determine the number of white men vs. white women.
