* The above Roll is taken from The Delaware Gazette of Delhi, N.Y. having been brought in by a grandson of Ebenezer Foote, the first County Clerk of Delaware County. It was published April 4, 1888.
Note: Since putting this online, I received the following note:
"I have a copy of the 1888 Delaware Gazette article, which I assume you used to create this page. Although I have had my copy for a few years, I just noticed something peculiar about the assessment roll: it is not nearly complete. The subtle clues in the article are these: (1) the intro says there were 125 names on the roll, yet there are fewer than 50 listed; and (2) the sum of the numbers in the dollar-and-cents column does not come close to the total at the bottom ($7853.19)." --Jeffrey Golden February 5, 1999
