Census of the Inhabitants of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 1774

Description

Pre-dating the first federal census by almost a full generation, this is the most extensive list of early Connecticut inhabitants on record. It was first published in 1858, with an index compiled separately in 1954. Both are included in this reprint. In all, 9,450 heads of household are listed in the census, and they are arranged by town and thereunder in approximate alphabetical order. Figures are provided for each household on the number of males and females above and below the age of sixteen, and the number of Indian and black inhabitants.
