The United States government published lists of its employees roughly every two years from 1816 to 1914 usually as
A Register of Officers and Agents, Civil, Military, and Naval in the Service of the United States or a variant on this title.
State and country of birth appears for most of the Federal employee in the editions for September 1816, 1819, 1821, 1823,
and 1825, including for most of the thousands of deputy postmasters across the country. As the men and women who filled
these positions were usually local people old enough to have important political connections, they often were not likely to
have lived long enough to appear in the 1850 census. This information often appears nowhere else. Major research librar-
ies and archives have sets of these books although often on microfiche. The free web site Google Books includes the 1816
edition of this series.
For other sources for information on Federal employees see Claire Prelchtel-Kluskens, “Documenting the Careers of
Federal Employees,” Prologue: The Quarterly of the National Archives 26 (1994): 180-83 and Genealogical and Bio-
graphical Research: a Select Guide to NARA Microfilm, available on the Internet at http://www.archives.gov/publications/
microfilm-catalogs/biographical/. Holdings discussed in the latter publication include autobiographical applications for
Federal jobs from presidents John Adams through U. S. Grant. Each of the booklets accompanying the respective mi-
crofilm for each administration includes an alphabetical list of the applicants. These records frequently mention personal
history and connections. Applications to individual departments, such as Justice, State, Treasury, War etc. for employment
have not been microfilmed and must be searched for in person or by mail from the National Archives and Records Admin-
istration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001. Before the modern advent of the civil service exams,
local political bosses chose postmasters; any of those applications have not survived.
Some other sources for place of birth for this period include Kenneth Scott, British Aliens in the United States during
the War of 1812 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1979) and National Archives microfilm M233 Register of
Enl istments in the U. S. Army for 1798-1914. The latter microfilm is reproduced on the subscription website Ancestry.com
as “U. S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914” and can be electronically searched by name. The soldiers born in
or serving from Virginia during the War of 1812 from that microfilm appear in Stuart Lee Butler, Virginia Soldiers in the
United States Army 1800-1815 (Athens, Ga., 1986).
Persons born in Tennessee or working in Tennessee appear below with their respective jobs, place of birth, and resi-
dence. Not included here are the names of persons without place of birth given. The year or years of publication of the
register[s] where the information can be found appears in brackets. These publications also include the annual pay to
each employee. President James Madison (born Virginia), employed United States, for example, received $25,000 per
year in 1816.
