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 1850 United States Census record for the Zacheriah Hildreth household in Townsend, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
The Zacheriah Hildreth household is the first household on the page:
The extracted information for the Zachariah Hildreth household is:
* Zacheriah Hildreth, age 67, male, a farmer, $1000 in real property, born MA
* Hannah Hildreth, age 59, female, born NH
* Hariet A. Hildreth, age 14, female, born MA, attended school.
The source citation for the Zacheriah Hildreth entry (census date 1 June 1850) is:
1850 United States Federal Census, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, population schedule, Townsend, dwelling #307, household #341, lines 1-3, Zacheriah Hildreth household; imaged, "1850 United States Federal Census," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/8054/images/4199352_00516 : accessed 7 July 2021), Massachusetts > Middlesex > Townsend, page number 82 (stamped, image 39 of 47); original record on National Archives Microfilm Publication M432, Roll 796.
Zachariah Hildreth (1783-1857) is my 3rd great-grandfather, who married Hannah Sawtell (1789-1857) in 1810, and they had nine children, including my 2nd great-grandfather Edward Hildreth (1831-1899).
