The little "u" is only used in rows where a column is skipped. I think it is a place-holder to indicate that there is no data for that column.

I believe the "u" stands for unknown. It's used mostly in the "Free white females <16" and the All other free persons columns

That's an interesting idea. Sounds reasonable, thank you, Bob!
And thank you all for reminding me that FAMILYSSEARCH would have been a better link!!! Am just getting used to using it regularly.
