At the top of the page is the following certification: "The number of free Male Inhabitants of the Age of Twenty One years within the Township of Middletown consists of 213 as appears in a Schedule hereunto annexed Subscribed by me this 20th Day of June 1800 Silas Bingham Constable" Beneath the "certification" is the following heading: "Schedule of the number of free male inhabitants of Twenty One years of age within the Township alloted to me Silas Bingham" At the top of the first column in each two-column set of names is the following heading: "Names of heads of families in which is found a free male inhab- itant of Twenty One Years" At the top of the second column in each two-column set of names is the following heading: "Names of free male inhabitants of Twenty one years of age, including heads of families, who are free males of the age of Twenty One years" At the bottom of the second column in each two-column set of names is a subtotal of the number of names in that column. Because of the fact that there are eight columns of names crammed onto one sheet of paper, the handwriting is very small. This, combined with the poor image quality and Constable Bingham's unique writing style, made it very difficult to decipher some of the names. In addition, Constable Bingham had the annoying habit of using abbreviations for almost every first name. This leads to some confusion after the names are transcribed. For example, "Frans" is in fact the abbreviation for "Francis" and "Abram" is almost always the abbreviation for "Abraham." Where the names as transcribed are not obvious abbreviations, I have left a note of clarification.
