The following Kingstons were enumerated (heads of households) in the United States 1790-1820 Population Census (Source: Ancestry.com - data obtained January-March 2008). Some of the 1790 schedules have been lost or were destroyed. Thus, only about two-thirds of the original 1790 census survives which includes schedules from eleven of the thirteen original states.

For reference to the Kingston DNA Project, the table relates Associated Kit IDs to the person that is believed to be the one recorded in the Population Census.
