The first page is the Schedule of names. It consists of two sets of names, each with two columns side-by-side. At the top of the first set of two columns is the following certification: "The number of free male inhabitants of the age of twentyone years within the township of Newport consists of eighty two as appears in a Schedule hereunto annexed subscribed by me this 14th day of June 1800 ------------" Beneath the "certification" is the following header: "Schedule of the number of free male inhabitants of twentyone years of age within the township allotted to me --- Luther Dana Constable ---" Beneath the header, at the top of the first column of names, and also at the top of the first column of names in the second set, is the following header: "Names of heads of families in which is found a free male inhabitant of twentyone years of age ----" Beneath the header, at the top of the second column of names, and also at the top of the second column of names in the second set, is the following header: "Names of free male inhabitants of twentyone years of age including heads of families who are free males of the age of twentyone years ---" The second page is an addendum to the main Schedule of names in which Constable Dana indicates his belief that four families living on the Little Muskingam River should be properly counted as belonging to the Township of Marietta. The four individuals involved are Simon Archer, Joseph Matthews, Benjamin Johnson, and Levi Johnson. This addendum, as originally written, is shown at the end of the second set of names in my transcription. The quality of the images for Newport Township was poor. In many cases the ink had faded so much that it was virtually impossible to discern the letters. However, after scrutinizing numerous magnified images of the names and comparing some of them to the names on the 1803 special census, I was able to confidently transcribe all but one word, that being a word in the addendum.
