Starting Montgomery County Census of 1810
BY BEN C. DIXON WASHINGTON, D. C.
Four of the decennial census re- cords of Montgomery county, from 1790 to 1900 show a population of more than 40,000. The year 1810 was the first of these four. The oth- ers were 1830, 1890 and 1900. The complete List follows:
1790
.28,843
1800
.22,051
1810
. 41,214
1820
.37,569

1870
.34,457
1880
.23,315
1890
.45,699
1900
47,488
These figures show a fluctuation between 22,000 in 1800 and nearly 48,000 in 1900. The first six of these records "(ali of which may be seen consulted and extracted, by any Am- erican citizen having a legitimate reason, in the National
Archives, Washington, D. C.) show only the names of the heads of families and the total number of persons in each househeid by age groups. The re- cords of 1850, 1860 and 1870 which may also be consulted, iist not only the names of all persons of each household, but also the age and state or country of birth. These iat- ter records contain the names of many eiderly citizens now living.
From 1880 to the present time the census schedules are stili heid by the director of the census. They may not be consulted by the general public, but information contained in them may be secured on proper application to the Director of Census and pay- ment of a nominal fee for the ser- vice. The records for 1880 are said to be in a poor state of preservation. The records for 1890 were poorly prepared and highly inaccurate. Cen- sus Bureau offiials state that no in- formation from them is available.
Ali the recoverable records for the first enumeration, the census of 1790, have been published by the government printing office. They may be consulted in any iarge ii- brary. The Montgomery county cen- sus of 1800 wss published serially in the Enterprise and News during 1934.
This family historian's subscription to this publication began during that serial census publication. During the eight years that I have read this paper for its Mohawk Valley history I have come to know the St. Johns- ville community almost as well as I know my own native and well-beiov- ed northeast Missouri. Incidentally the Rhode Island Greene series which has been running in 1942 teiis me of my own people. For my three child- ren are descendants of old hard- boiled testy John Greene of Quid- nessett Neck-through their moth- ers' Rhode Island ancestry.
NEW YORK CENSUS OF 1810
The total population of New York - State in 1810 was 959,220. The smal- lest single unit noted was Alleghany county with 1,942 inhabitants. The largest was the city and county of
New York with 96,373. The distri- bution of the population for the en- tire state was as follows:

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Voikert S. Veeder took the census enumeration for Montgomery county in 1810. He started the task on Au- gust 2nd and completed his work on December 28th. He used 224 pages of blank paper which he ruied and labelled according to the required form. A photostat copy of page 224 showing his first recapitulation and oath is furnished with these figures.
On August 2, 1810 Volkert S. Vee- der took the fllowing oath:
"I, Voickert S. Veeder, do solemn- ly swear, that I will make a just and perfect enumeration and description of all persons resident within the division assigned to me for that purpose by the Marshall of the Dis- trict of New York and make due re- turn thereof to the said Marshall agreeably to the directors of the sev- eral acts of congress, providing for the third census or enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, according to the best of my ability. "Voikert S. Veeder."
"Sworn the second day of August, 1810, before me.
"James Lansing, one of the
Justices of the Peace for the County of Montgomery."
The actual enumeration is con- tained on pages 2 to 223 of the sche- duies. Each page contains the names of from 15 to 40 heads of families. Some of the pages have become de-

When the job was done, the old deputy assistant marshali made the following affidavit:
I, Voikert S. Veeder, assistant mar- shaii appointed to take the census or enumeration of the inhabitants for district of the County of Montgom- ery in the State of New York under an act of Congress of the first of May last do certify that the fore- going is a true copy of the census or enumeration of the inhabitants of the said district taken by me.

As a whole, however, the record is an excellent one and has been very . Manheim well preserved by those who have Mayfield Minden been responsible for its care for the past 131 years. Mr. Veeder's chir- Palatine ography, while not of the "copy Wells book" pattern, can be read very eas- ily after one becomes accustomed to its peculiarities. In many places he has failed to dot his "i's" and to cross his "t's" causing some confu- sion in identifying some names. But the job as a whole appears to have been superbly done.
In copying the records I have indi- cated by approximate markings
where Mr. Veeder corrected an error. I have aiso tried to indicate alternate readings or speilings of names not familiar to me, where there appears to be some doubt as to the correct reading.
The census records are transcrbied in the order in which taken, begin- ning with the township of Johnstown.
* The following table will show the township distribution of the popuia- tion for the year 1810:
faced through misuse or improper storage. As a result a few of the top and bottom names cannot be made out with any degree of exact- ness.
