Greene County Federal Census of 1800

The following data was transcribed by Jan Slater. She writes, "Attached is a file of what I transcribed from the general census of Greene Co. PA for 1800 all persons of color, Free and Slave.
I find that there were:
16 Slaves claimed by various named owners
27 FPOC living in 14 white households
23 FPOC in 6 households head of household is FPOC

This differs from your 1800 Septennial census of 19 Slaves which could be attributed to births between June and November. Or it could just be that not everyone listed their slaves.
