Town of Wilmington, Essex County, New York, Transcribed Serial Records

This volume is the fifth in a series devoted to presenting a transcription of the surviving serial manuscript records for the town of Wilmington, Essex County, New York, in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains, 1830-1900. For the purpose of this series, a serial record is any record or group of records which extends over a period of time and captures a significant portion of the population. It is hoped that by capturing all extant serial records for Wilmington, this series will present a "record density" that will allow the genealogist and family historian with Wilmington ancestors to reconstruct a fuller portrait of their ancestors. The entries have been transcribed as presented; the original spelling has been maintained. Surnames have been added (in brackets) to the entries of wives and children in the 1880 Federal Population Schedule. This was done for indexing purposes. A full name index adds to the value of this work.
