Wow! Nice work Lora. Did you key all of that in?? I suppose that Bedford Township at that time included the part south of the borough as well as Dutch Corner. That list will require some analysis. Frank |

Yep, I typed it in. I did find that there were quite a few surnames that weren't spelled as we spell them now (Reighart = Reighard, Sellars = Sellers, Zimmer = Zimmers, etc.), but I spelled them as they were on the census. Here's the breakdown of occupations: Farmer 204 Laborer 119 Carpenter 16 Shoemaker 15 Smith 15 Blacksmith 9 Miller 9 Wagon maker 6 Cooper 5 Clerk 3 Teacher 3 Brick maker 2 Butcher 2 Coach maker 2 Innkeeper 2 Manufacturer 2 Millwright 2 Moulder 2 Stone mason 2 Tanner 2 Attorney 1 Barber 1 Cabinet maker 1 Collector 1 Confectioner 1 Constable 1 Driver 1 Gunsmith 1 Justice of the Peace 1 Machinist 1 Methodist Minister 1 Pattern maker 1 Pedler 1 Potter 1 Saddler 1 Steward of Poor House 1 Tailor 1 To__sonist 1 Upholsterer 1 Average Age: 34.64 The one that I wrote "To_sonist", I have no idea what that could be. I'll have to look and see if I can find a website that lists old occupations and see wha it may be. |

Lora, You are really bustin' a__ on this. I can't keep up. On a different subject, as I think you will see tomorrow, we will probably soon have other input into this forum. Frank |

In the 1860 census, Jacob Crouse, which was the one that I couldn't read in the 1850 census, had is occupation listed as "farmer". Our best guess for the above occupations, was Tappiologist. And that's just totally a guess. Here's a website with a list of occupations: http://www.worldthroughthelens.com/fami ... ations.php |
