    1. Re: [NJCUMBER] Looking for info on Township #'s in 1800 Federal Pop. Schedule
    2. Thank you -- found it. Regards, Joan In a message dated 10/16/2005 11:35:34 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Thanks for the reference. If you search for Jonathan Fish on Ancestry.com and then narrow the result set by selecting only the census entries, you'll see the NJ Tax Lists and the Federal Population Schedules. Select any one of the NJ entries and then at the bottom of the page you can refine your search within the "New Jersey Census, 1772-1890" database. Enter the name you're researching. My Jonathan Fish (1770-1846) was married in Cumberland County, Deerfield Township in 1797 to Elizabeth Graham. The index entry for JONATH FISH in the NJ Federal Population Schedule for 1800 in Cumberland County shows 11010-10100-00 in the Township field. I believe these numbers refer to the numbers of Free White Males and Females in the household, in the five age group columns. The last two digits may refer to the other two columns on the census sheet, "Number of all other free persons" and "Number of Slaves".
