1855 New York State Census
Transcribed by Susan Stalker Mulvey
July 2005
Census of the Inhabitants in the Town Election District of the Town of Ancram in the County, of Columbia taken by me on the 20th day of June 1855.
Taken by: Elisha Moore
(Note: I have left off the columns: "Color," "Dwellings numbered in the order of visitation," "Of what material built," and "Value," which are at the beginning of the form and "Aliens," Persons of color not taxed," "Persons over 21 years who cannot read and write," "Owners of land," and "Deaf, Dumb, Blind, Insane, or Idiotic" to save room. If there is information in the end columns, I will add that to the name. I have highlighted the head of household in bold. I have transcribed the census to the best of my ability. Some pages are totally unreadable. I will make a notation, where applicable, as to which pages that I cannot read. Notations in [ ] are mine.)
