The Hemmingford Statistical Return for 1828 was transcribed by
Gina Smith from
National Archives of Canada Microfilm #C-2511 (pages 23846-23853). The signature
of William Bowron, with the date August 1, 1828, is found at the end of the
return.
The statistical return is broken into three sections: a section covering the
Township of Hemmingford, another section covering the Crown Reserve Land in the
township, and, lastly, the land between the Crown and Clergy Reserves.
Each of these sections is broken into two parts. The first part provides details
about the land owner, the location of the lot, how the land was obtained, and
how many acres have been improved. The second part is similar to a "Head
of Household" census, providing information about who resides on the property.
