Delaware County NY Genealogy and History Site

Note from Daniel Long, transcriber of this census: I went to the National Archives and Record Administration and printed the whole town of Roxbury in 1840. The equipment there was probably as old as the census itself and needless to say there were problems in the printed copies. The printer added lines from scratches on the lens, etc. etc. Doing this transcription from the original handwriting gave me a profound appreciation for any one doing whole counties. It's both physically and mentally challenging!

    1) Title: Delaware County, Town of Roxbury, NY 
       "Schedule of the whole number of persons within the 
        division allotted to:  D Rowland"

    2) Transcribed from the Sixth US Census ID M704, Roll 274
        (pages 348 to 364)

    3) Some descriptive text regarding this Census:

        The US Census prior to 1850 (1790 to 1840)
            only listed the Heads of Household.

        The 1840 Census has the following features:
            
a) Full Name of Heads of Family.
b) Counts of members of the household who are "white"
    by age group, male/female
c) Counts of members of the household who are "free colored persons" 
    by age group, male/female.
c) Counts of employment by categories.
d) Pensioners' names and ages.
e) Counts of deaf & dumb by age category.
f)  Counts of blind persons.
g) Counts of those educated in various categories.

This transcription only contains items a & b above. I looked over the rest of it, and there were so few that it would have been very confusing. (a & b occupied a 11x17 sheet and the rest of it occupied a second sheet). I did the very best I could with the names, and was very careful not to guess a spelling. Those instances are marked with a "?". In some cases, I looked at the (type written) 1850 census to see how someone else translated a name, thus giving some continuity to prior work, although I disagreed with a few of them. (e.g. GENUNG). I believe my work is more than 90% accurate. Daniel Long
