Town clerks and town historians as a matter of course are not likely to have federal census information. For some, that would be a rather large record. Federal and state census records covering 1850, 60, 70, 80 and the state census of 55, 65, 92 and 1915 and 25 often are found at county clerk's offices. They usually are not indexed. Now there may be some town historians that have managed to get census indexes for their towns, so don't rule this out, but it is not something they normally do.
