Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 217: 1830 U.S. Census Record for William Knapp Household in Newton, N.J.

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1830 U.S. Census record for William Knapp (1775-1856) in Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey:


The entry for William Knapp:


The enumeration of the William Knapp household included this information:

*  1 male under age 5 years [Manning Knapp, born 1825]
*  1 male age 5 to 9 years [William Knapp, born 1823]
*  2 males age 15 to 19 years [Benjamin Knapp, born 1811, and Charles Knapp, born 1813]
*  1 male age 50 to 59 years [William Knapp, born 1775]

William Knapp (1775-1856) and Sarah (Cutter) Knapp (1785-1878) are my third great-grandparents.  I descend through their daughter Sarah (Knapp) Auble (1818-after 1900), who married David Auble (1817-1894) in 1844.
