Hardwick Vital Statistics
1790 Census 1800 Census 1810 Census 1820 Census
Census reporting ends with the 1820 census. There were over 50 separate items of data gathered in the 1830 census. That fact and that names are not in alphabetical order make it impractical to report later years.
04-03-2006 Homeland Security has indicated that to prevent identity theft, vital record information younger than 70 years should not be accessible to the public. For this reason, I have removed the links to search vital record information.
Hardwick Schools
The names and locations of historic Hardwick schools was derived from old copies of topographical maps.
