Wendy, I am unable to get through to the second of these URLs either directly or through the site accessed by the first URL (although I was able to access Richard's will abstract via this page). The "ftp:" address prefix looks strange for a website??? Roy Crego seems quite sure that the 1703 census shows two sons and the number of negro slaves is different too. If I read Roy's message correctly he found the census data in O'Callaghan's Documentary History of the State of NY (1849) p.614. I've tried to find this online but without success. How did you get through to the 1703 census page? Would you know if O'Callaghan is available online anywhere? Best...
