1855 CENSUS OF TOWN OF HALFMOON
SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK
HOUSES #1 through 150

See also: Families 151-300, Families 301-450 and Families #451-603

This record was made from microfilm copies of the original census pages, photocopied by the office of the Saratoga County Historian and transcribed by Suzy and Lynn Calvin.

The enumerator's penmanship was adequate but his spelling was atrocious. He had particular trouble in spelling names of Irish-American residents. He made up new spellings for any name he didn't recognize and mismarked many columns. The photocopies also were at places very faint. Any errors in this transcription may be due to the inability of the transcribers to overcome these problems, and so the reader should check the originals. Spellings are mostly transcribed into this record just as found in the original, so some imagination must be used in reading and searching this census. Any corrections of misread names may easily be posted or annotated if a reader will submit such observations to the Calvins.

Column headings were as follows:

1. Dwelling numbered in order of visitation
2. Of what material built
3. Value
4. Families numbered in the order of their visitation
5. Name of every person whose usual place of abode on the first day of June was in this family
6. Age

8. Color (whether black or mulatto)
9. Relation to the head of the family
10. In what county of the State or in what other State of Foreign Country born
11. Married
12. Widowed
13. Years resident in this city or town
14. Profession, Trade or Occupation
15. Voters – Native
16. Voters – Naturalized
17. Aliens
18. Persons of color not taxed
19. Persons over 21 years who cannot read and write
20. Owners of land
21. Deaf, Dumb, Blind, Insane or Idiotic
