___________________________________________
* The 19 males ages16-18 are also included
in the 56 males ages 16-26.
** These Groton Totals were recorded on the census schedule, but
some of the totals could not be reconciled with the individual
family numbers recorded. One obvious omission was in
Foxwell Whicher’s family where one male 16 to 18 was
recorded and no male 16 to 26 was entered (it is shown
parenthetically in the transcription). This makes a total
of 57 males 16 to 26 instead of the 56 shown. Males 26 to
45 total 56 instead of the 55 shown, so the total number of males
is 307 instead of the 305 shown. Apparently the 3 females
under ten in Jacob Abbott’s family were missed in the total
for females under ten (the number was somewhat obscured by the
totals for the township preceding Groton) so the total number of
females under ten is 108 instead of the 105 shown. Females
10 to 16 total 42 instead of 41 and those 16 to 26 total 60
instead of 59, so the total number of females is 295 instead of
the 290 shown. This would make the total population of Groton 602
instead of the 595 shown for 1820.
This ends the enumeration of the 1820 census of Groton, Caledonia
County, Vermont. JWB
