As I continue to transcribe the 1800 census records, I have another page ready to post here. One of our blog readers has promised some details about a few names on this page, notably the SMITH, DOTY and FILKINS names. So if any of those are yours, stay tuned!
It is nice that I am beginning to hear from folks who are searching for their ancestors, hoping to find them in our pages. I spent some time this morning at the Scipio History Corner, looking through our Town Meeting notes and tracing the WATKINS surname. The notes began in 1794; 214 years ago when the road from Sherwood to Aurora was little more than a pathway in the dirt.
I think when I complete the 1800 census transcription, I'll start to put some of the more interesting facts and some names from the Town Meetings on here. What do you think?
