Palmyra, Maine, in the 1820 Census

Palmyra, Maine, in the 1820 Census.

Boundary changes since 1820: Land was set off to Warsaw (now Pittsfield) in 1824 and 1828

Note: the 1820 Census lists the names of heads of households only; see the original sheets for a tally of everyone in each household by age range and gender.

The enumeration of Palmyra consists of all or parts of Sheets 143-146; use the arrow at top left to page forward.

Note: Sheet 146 shows half a page of heads of households for Palmyra, as well as the aggregate tallies, and then goes on to another town, Athens, although the enumerator neglected to write the town's name in the margin.   The Athens names on Sheet 146 may be indexed as Palmyra residents in some online databases.

The enumerator's use of phonetic spellings may have affected alphabetization of the list below.
