County of Philadelphia: School Children Enumerations

County of Philadelphia: School Children Enumerations Compiled by GSP volunteers TN 1683 THE SECOND COLONIAL ASSEMBLY of Pennsylvania in- JLstituted a governmental structure stating, in part, that education should be available to all, rich or poor. Subsequent legislation in 1790 and 1809 imposed tighter regulations, but enforcement was difficult if not impossible. By 1850, however, most Pennsylvania counties accepted tax-subsidized education for all children. For additional historical de¬ tails about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania legislation that led to compilation of enumeration lists of poor children educated at county expense, and ultimately to the public school system as we know it today, consult PGM 39, no. 4 (Fall/Winter 1996): 391-92, or PGM 40, no. 1 (Spring/Summer 1997): 33-34. The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania initiated publication of Philadelphia County school children enumeration lists in PGM 39, no. 4 (Fall/ Winter 1996): 391-408. The initial lists, covering Blockley, Kingsessing, Moyamensing, Passyunk, and Southwark West (1811-1812) were continued (1813-1815) in the following issue, and the remaining available lists for these five districts (1816) appear below. This series will be continued in the Spring/Summer 1998 issue of PGM, with pub¬ lication of lists for the districts of Germantown, Bristol, Roxborough, Byberry, Moreland, Oxford, and Lower Dublin. The information provided here is reproduced verbatim, with no at¬ tempt to correct apparent errors or inconsistencies. Blank spaces indi¬ cate missing information. It should be noted that enumerations for some areas in certain years are missing, incomplete, or unidentified. Researchers are reminded to check the original source to verify data.
