Subscrib'd by me this twenty-third day of June 1800 ___ Joseph Frye Constable Schedule of the number of free male inhabitants of twenty one years of age within the Township allotted to me Jos Frye ======================================= Waterford Township Transcribers Remarks: ======================================= The 1800 Census for Waterford Township, Washington County, Northwest Territory consists of 223 names in two sets of two side-by-side columns broken into two pages of images. [The Constable claims that there were 226 names, but my count yields only 223] It appears that the names may have originally been on one long sheet of paper and that the microfilmers folded the paper to create two pages of images. Unfortunately, when they folded the paper to create the second page, they included nine rows of names from the first page, thus confusing the situation. At the top of the first page is the following certification: "The number of free male inhabitants of the Age of Twenty one years within the Township of Waterford consists of two hundred twenty six as appears in a schedule hereunto annex'd. Subscrib'd by me this twenty-third day of June 1800___ Joseph Frye 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 allotted to me Jos Frye" At the top of the first column in the two-column set of names on the first page is the following heading: "Names of heads of families in which is found a free male In- habitant of twenty one years of age" At the top of the second column in the two-column set of names on the first page is the following heading: "Names of free male Inhabitants of twenty one years of age in- cluding heads of families who are free males of the age of twenty one years---" This was undoubtedly the most difficult of the townships in the 1800 Census of Washington County to transcribe. In addition to the aged paper and fainted ink, the extreme right slant to the Constable's handwriting and his frequent phonetic spelling made the task sometimes impossible. 129 of the 223 names on the 1800 Census cross-checked with names on the 1803 Special Census. In spite of comparing the names on the 1800 Census with those on both the 1803 and 1810 Census, I am only about 85 percent confident in the accuracy of this transcription. There were five instances where I could not decipher either a first or last name. I have indicated with asterisks the letters which I could not read.
