 Berks County 1800 Septennial Census Slave Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Berks County Septennial Census records differ from the usual pattern by listing slaves younger than age 20.
Most county enumerators listed only those slaves born before March 1780, they being considered "Slaves for Life." Children of slaves born after that date were to be freed upon their 28th birthday, according to the Gradual Emancipation Act of 1780.
Many of the Berks County townships included slaves under 20 years old, which was unusual as most townships in most counties excluded those slaves because their status was considered to be that of an indentured servant rather than a slave.
