The following is from "Heads of Families in Penobscot, Maine, as Shown by the 1800 Census; Together with the Places from Which They Emigrated" by Miss Emma Curry. Originally published in The National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume IX, No. 3, October, 1922.
The Census of Hancock County, Maine, for 1800, is unusually interesting from the fact that the enumerator included in his record, in nearly every instance, the place from which the head of the family emigrated. The list below includes only the town of Penobscot. (Copied by Miss Emma Curry, 1020 Monroe St. N.W., Washington, D.C.)
