After seeing the previous postings, especially Nancy's comment, I did a little digging with Google myself. I didn't get any hits for a census in 1708 (maybe I just couldn't find the transcription online) but I did locate the transcription for 1703 using the following URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycoloni/offsite.html#chu which had a link to ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ny/newyork/census/1703/1703-nyc.txt The information in the USGenWeb archive was as follows: Census Year 1703 State New York County New York District: New York City; East Ward Page# 397 [NOTE: I moved the categories to a vertical format for ease of typing and reading] Masters of Familys Richd Sackett Males 16-60 1 Females 1 Male children 2 Female children 0 Male Negro 0 Female Negro 0 Male Negro children 1 Female Negro children 0 All above 60 0 This would correspond to a household of Capt. Richard, his wife Margery, two sons, no daughters, no adult slaves, one slave child (a male), and no adults over the age of 60.
