Description

This volume presents a transcription of the surviving serial manuscript records, 1830-1900, for the Town of Wilmington, Essex County, New York, in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains. Serial records, for the purpose of this series, extend over a period of time and capture a significant portion of the population. Presenting this "record density" allows genealogists and family historians with Wilmington ancestors to reconstruct a fuller portrait of their ancestors. Records were transcribed from microfilm, and photocopied or scanned images. Entries include: 1850 Population Census, 1850 Agricultural Census, 1850 Products of Industry, 1850 Social Statistics, 1855 Population Schedule, 1855 Agricultural Schedule, 1855 Industrial Schedule, 1855 Churches and Schools Schedule, and 1855 Inns and Store Schedule. A fullname index adds to the value of this work.
