Canaan, Maine, in the 1820 Census

Canaan, Maine, in Somerset County, in the 1820 Census.

Canaan set off a portion to Milburn (later Skowhegan) in 1823 and annexed portions of Warsaw (now Pittsfield) three times between 1824 and 1841 and annexed a portion of Hartland in 1849.

Note: the 1820 Census lists the names of heads of households only, with a tally of everyone in the household by age range and gender.

The enumeration of Canaan consists of Sheets 108-119; use the arrow at top left of each image to page forward.

The enumerator used phonetic spellings, which may have affected alphabetization.

    1. Many thanks for taking the time to comment! Yes, it was probably meant to be Bryant - but maybe the owner and/or the enumerator wasn't aware of how most people spelled it - and I chose to use it the way it appeared on the original form, with a caveat at the beginning of the list. And, also, many thanks for the additional information - glad he got to live a long life, hopefully a happy and productive one.
