However, In the almost 200 years since it’s creation the original document has suffered irreversible physical damage resulting in the loss of about a dozen families. Additionally, spelling and arithmetical errors made by the Enumerator, Mr. Enoch Wilcox, have not been corrected, and remain as submitted November 28. 1820. The only names that appear in this schedule are heads of families or persons who were not enumerated within a family or household unit. Because printed forms were not generally used, all or part of the schedules of some localities carry less than the prescribed 32 columns. This occurred in instances where no enumeration was made of persons belonging to groups ordinarily listed under these missing columns. Occasionally, where the number of persons belonging to these groups was so small they were listed numerically or by name at the end of the schedules of the locality in which they were enumerated.
