The Town of Chester, Vermont

HEADS OF FAMILIES AT THE FIRST CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES TAKEN IN THE YEAR 1790

VERMONT - WINDSOR COUNTY - TOWN OF CHESTER

Abstracted, by Ann McRoden Mensch.
(see resources)

The names of the heads-of-households, as reported on this census, are found below.  They are arranged, in alphabetical order, by surname.  Following the names are a series of numbers which represent the entries reported in the respective columns for the household.  The order of the columns (and numbers reported) are shown in the order in which they appear.

Please note:  Though a column for the number of "slaves" was included among the U. S. Census questions, some of the Vermont towns/townships apparently chose NOT to include a column for "slaves."  When this column was not included on the census pages, the column order below will be "missing" this column as well.  Also, for the towns which did not include this column, the names will be followed by 1 less number.

Note:  The Chester census pages did not include a column for "Slaves."
