The act authorizing the third census stipulated that the census was to be "an actual inquiry at every dwelling house, of the head of every family within each district." The enumeration began as in previous years on the first Monday in August.
In 1810, the following persons owned land and/or were likely living in New Market: Thomas Troth (p356), Elizabeth Birckhead (p356), Jonathan Bunnell (p356), Robert Travers (p357), John Mackey (p357), Morris Roach (p357), and Henry P. Waggaman (p357). Since these people likely lived in New Market in 1810, the other persons listed on Census pages 356 and 357 may have also lived in East New Market during the year 1810. It is also possible that the census taker did not take the census in any particular order. He may not have made "an actual inquiry at every dwelling house" and could have just spoke with people visiting town during the day he was completing the form.
Other New Market landowners also owned land not in New Market (some nearby and some not). The following people likely did not live in town during 1810. They can be found on various pages of the 1810 Census, but none on the same page: Dr. Daniel Sulivane, Joseph Sulivane, James B. Sulivane, Elizabeth Smith, Henry King, Joseph Ennalls , Samuel Corkran, John Stevens, Charles Lecompte, Dr. Devereaux Travers, Sophia Handly, Henry Dickinson, and Levin Marshall. However, if the census was not taken in any particular order, some of the above may have lived in town. The following New Market landowners can not be found as head of Household in Dorchester County for the 1810 Census: Thomas Jackson, Henry Marshall, Mary King, Clement Sulivane, Robert Sulivane, Elizabeth Hodson, Thomas Light, Thomas Tall, and Levin White. They either lived outside of the county or within another household in the county.

Special thanks to Norman Corkran who transcribed the entire 1810 Census for Dorchester County and submitted it to the U.S. GenWeb Census Project. I independently transcribed pages 356, 357, and part of 358 from the 1810 Census for Dorchester County and afterwards compared my transcription to Mr. Corkran's. The differing entries are noted in red (parenthesis).
