Treasure Chest Thursday - 1830 U.S. Census Record for Zachariah Hildreth Family In Townsend, Massachusetts

 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 United States Census record for the Zachariah Hildreth household in Townsend, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

The Zachariah Hildreth household is the last entry on the page:

The extracted information for the Zachariah Hildreth household (with my educated guess as to the names of the family members, assuming that they are all from the Zachariah Hildreth (family):

*  Name of head of family:  Zachariah Hildreth 

*  one male under age 5 (probably son Moses born 1828)

*  one male age 5 to 10 (probably son Milo born 1824)

*  one male age 10 to 15 (probably son James born 1817)

*  one male age 15-20 (probably son Aaron born 1811)

*  one male age 20 to 30 (perhaps a younger brother or a farm employee)

*  one male age 40 to 50 (certainly Zachariah born in 1783)

*  one female age 5 to 10 (probably daughter Elizabeth born 1822)

*  one female age 10 to 15 (probably daughter Clariassa born 1820)

*  one female age 40-50 (certainly wife Hannah born in 1789)
