Redding. 23 households, 9 headed by non-whites; 67 individuals. As in Newtown, this marshal has trouble with the idea that a “negro” would have a surname. In fact, by the handwriting it could actually be the same guy.
Our independent households follow. Harry and his wife had 5 boys and 4 girls in their family (5 of the kids under the age of 10). I feel for them.
Harry 11
Peter 7
Timothy 6
Ishmael 8
Jacob Thomas 7
Amos 4
William 2
John Freeman 2
Thadeus 3
Ridgefield. 18 households, only 1 headed by a nonwhite (Riley and his family of 3).
Sherman. 7 households, 3 headed by nonwhites:
Stephen 4
William Cony 8

Next up is Stamford, with 53 pages of returns. A task for another day.
