Scope and Content Note

This series consists of fragmentary burned schedules of the Census of Electors, 1801. The schedules give the name of the head of the family and the number of electors in various categories: freeholders of property worth 100 pounds or more; freeholders of property worth from 20 to 100 pounds; and non-freeholders renting tenements of annual value of 40 shillings. Summary statistics of the number of electors by county only are given in Senate Journal, 25th session, 1802, p. 74. The remains of the census schedules are contained in four packages and two pages encased in Mylar (for town of Trenton, Oneida County).
