Index To 1800 Census of Massachusetts Genealogy Book

Description

Index to the 1800 Census of Massachusetts
Elizabeth Petty Bentley
Volume  totaling
264
pages. Book is in excellent  condition. Description per the publisher.
This census index, in common with others prepared by Mrs.  Bentley, is the standard reference tool on its subject--a work as thorough and  as accurate as painstaking labor could make it. Where questions of  interpretation occurred, for example, Mrs. Bentley compared her microfilm copy  with a photostatic copy of the census, thus obtaining the best possible reading.  The index itself consists of an alphabetical list of the heads of households in  the 1800 federal census of Massachusetts. First the family name of the head of  household is given, followed by the Christian name, then the county of  residence, and finally the page number of the census schedule. The 305 pages of  text contain data on some 70,000 persons, most of whom were of age during the  Revolutionary War, many participating in it. (Researchers should note that the  enumerations for Boston and Chelsea in Suffolk County are missing from the  extant census returns, an omission which should be anticipated in the index.)
