- Owing to the necessity of economizing space the census, as hereafter presented, has been condensed, and, as is always the case with condensations, some things of value are lost thereby. Under the heading of each town the place "From whence emigrated" appears at the left hand side of the page followed by the names of the heads of families from that place. After each name comes the number of males and females in the family, 5-3, for example. the age brackets into which the individuals fell are ignored except in the case of the oldest male, or, when the household was headed by a widow, the oldest female. The letter A indicates "of 16 and under 26", B "of 26 and under 45", and C "of 45 and upwards". Surnames are copied verbatim but the names of the towns are given in modern spelling - Duxbury instead of Ducksbury, etc. [snip]
