The Lister was Abel Miller. Mr. Miller's handwriting was generally clear, but because he squeezed all of the 145 names onto one sheet of paper, he wrote them very small. This, in combination with the broad-tipped writing instrument he used, causes many of the letters to look alike. For example, in the last name "Farmer," one has to look very carefully to separate the "r" and the "m." Likewise, "o"s and "a"s often look like blobs of ink. As a result, there were three last names and one first name which I could not decipher. Mr. Miller began his list with the following heading, "A list of all the Male inhabitants in Middletown of twenty one years old and upwards." He ended the document with a signature line along the right side stating, "Abel Miller Lister of taxable property in Middletown."
