The
Census of 1817 ~
Catskill
Coxsackie Union News, November 11, 1904
Official List of Families Living in Catskill Village in 1817
For the interesting matter which follows we are indebted to Henry Ashley, now of
New York but for many years a prominent business man of his village. It is a
census of the village of Catskill in June 1817, giving the families, the number
of their slaves and also the freemen. It was compiled by Mr. Ashley’s father,
also named Henry, who came from his birthplace in New Hampshire to this village
in 1800 or 1801, and was engaged in the leather business. He served at one time
as County Judge by appointment, and was elected to Congress in 1825. The
manuscript which we copy below is written in a fine, clear hand and on rough
linen paper such as was used for correspondence at that time.
