The 1840 Federal Census listed only Heads of Households. This list includes Adams County names from the rural townships. No names from the city of Quincy are listed. The names were extracted from microfilm and alphabetized. Please keep in mind that errors are to be expected. Old handwriting, faded microfilm and weary eyes make mistakes inevitable.
