Hello Folks: I have been involved with a project to inventory and examine barns in the Towns of Fabius, Pompey, Tully and Lafayette, Onondaga County NY. One of the tools my partners (Randy Nash and J. Roy Dodge) and I have been using is the NYS Census. The 1855 and 1875 census provide a beautiful breakdown of the individual farms and by using the 1852 and 1874 maps we can locate the farms. We have been told that NYS census information was taken for prior to these above years. We have located agricultural town information for 1845. Has anyone used agricultural census information for years before 1845 and if so where might I find it? Our project will have its own webpage in the near future and I will share it with the group. Thanks Bill Casey PO Box 36 Apulia Station, NY 13020 [email protected] 315 683-5674 http://www.fabiusny.org http://www.organicmilk.org
