(Transcribed Over Several Issues during 2000
in Campbell County History News)
Readers will remember that we published the 1834 Newport directory over several issues of the newsletter in 1999. The 1840 Directory is another frequently overlooked and unique source. The information below was originally included in The Cincinnati, Covington, Newport, and Fulton Directory for 1840 which was printed in 1839 by David Henry Shaffer.
The directory describes itself as “comprising: The Name of Householders, Heads of Families, those engaged in Business, together with the State or Country of their birth.” Please note that the Federal Census records did not begin reporting the place of birth until 1850 and that this directory may be the only record for the birth place of residents who died prior to 1850.
