Upon further review, I would have to say it is not the Halifax County East census but the City Census, if it is the County census, then it is definitely incomplete and should not have been submitted as such to Rootsweb.
The next avaliable census information for the area of Halifax County would be the 1791-93 Poll Tax lists that taxed all men over the age of 18, or who owned land.
This census was followed by the 1851 of which we are lucky and Halifax County has survived, and then 1861 the last Provincial Census.

 George Henry JOST
In the struggle for supremacy in Nova Scotia between France and England, Governor Edward Cornwallis recruited "Foreign Protestants" from Germany, Switzerland, France and the district of Montbéliard to come to Halifax in 1750 to counter the influence of the French and the Catholics in Nova Scotia.
Those from the mass gravesite were probably immigrants recruited to augment the "Foreign Protestant" population in Nova Scotia, who travelled on the ship Anne in September 1750, and had contracted typhus fever on board and died.
The epidemic may have caused the deaths of nearly twenty per cent of the population of Halifax; records show at least fifty people of German ancestry expired from 1749-1751.
