Joanne Garland wrote about the changing boundaries of Paris: >These facts might help clarify early census records, especially the 1790 >census, which would have included this area in Herkimer County. But, ... No one but the Oneidas, Tucaroras, Stockbridge, Brothertowns, other communities of Indians, and a few white squatters or traders lived in most of that area until after 1792 or so. Clinton was settled in 1789, and people were starting to trickle into the New Military Tract (Onondaga County, etc.) but the vast Oneida Reservation was still very much intact and the Governor's 20 Towns were not yet sold or settled - leaving nearly all of present Madison County and much of western Oneida County uninhabited by whites. Has anyone ever tried to break down which people on the 1790 census were in what present counties / towns? I'm able to do this with some accuracy with the 1800 census of Cazenovia which covers an area now split into the present townships of Cazenovia, Fenner, Smithfield, Nelson, Sullivan, Stockbridge, Lenox, Lincoln, part of the City of Oneida, and the very northern portion of the Town of DeRuyter in Madison County: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/Census/Cazenovia/1800Cazenovia.html Dan W. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/
