The census covers Kaskaskia, Fort de Chartres, Cahokia, St. Philippe, Ste. Genevieve, and Prairie du Rocher. The artifact can be used to determine the number of individuals who lived in each of the identified geographical areas. It can also be used to give context about the area where the individuals lived including the type of structures and agriculture present. The transcription of the census found in the Illinois State Genealogical Society Quarterly provides names that can be used to identify families who lived in the area.

[The following is transcribed from the introduction to Illinois Census Returns 1810, 1818 by Margaret Cross Norton]. From the time the French settlements in the Illinois country can be said to have existed as such, various estimates of their population, more or less accurate, were made. Two such censuses, one for the year 1732 [click here for more information], and one for 1752 [click here for more information], quite detailed in their classification of persons and property, are reproduced herewith.1 Under the British regime an enumeration was made in 1767 [click here for more information] for Major General Gage, apparently for military purposes. This document, printed in volume 11 of the Collections of the Illinois State Historical Library,2 summarizes the number of inhabitants, white and black, their live stock, number of bushels of Indian corn and wheat in storage and number of mills at Kaskaskia, and the number of families at Cahokia, Prairie du Rocher, St. Philip and Fort Chartres, respectively.
