CENSUS REPORTS

1830 - 1930

UPDATED OCTOBER 24, 2011

I'm not certain exactly what happened, but the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 Federal Census stuff for New Jersey just up and disappeared. The first news we get from the Jersey Shore begins with the 1830 census.

In the 1830 and 1840 census both males and females are listed 0-4, 5-9, 10- 14, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.

From 1850 on ages and states of birth are shown. Starting in 1880 places of birth are listed for the person, their father and their mother. In the 1900 and 1920 Soundex, all families are listed. I was able to get the indexes for 1910 and 1930 so they are very complete, listing occupations and length of time married.

ALONZO PUTNAM Jersey City, Hudson County

He is 19 West Indies born Jul 1881, and is listed as a stepson of Frederick (50 Germany) and Addea (39 West Indies) Grunwald. He could somehow be connected to Fernando Cortez Putnam. Fernando was married (his second) to Addah Husband who would be 72 now and is living with her son William in the State of Washington. But this is strange to have Alonzo’s mom named Addea. I really wonder if Addea was a child of Fernando, though was never in the censuses, that remained in the West Indies. Alonzo was born in the West Indies at a time when Fernando had been here in the States for many years. Very interesting. Hmmm.

He is Jeremiah's son and the age is 38 This is an example where they went back later and added the year of birth. The initial listing had age and month, so if they read the age wrong, they put in the wrong year. Happened all the time. Now if you look at 1910 and 1920, you’ll see the Charles and Frank listed here have the last name Brown and would be Anna’s from an earlier marriage. Sadie is probably a sister or cousin I guess. I guess William’s middle name is Voohus or Vorris and their son is William junior.

Here is part of an article in Country Doctor: “The small village of Lyme, New Hampshire, lies south west of the White Mountains; two miles further west the Connecticut River divides New Hampshire from Vermont.  Dartmouth Medical School and the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital are ten miles to the south, in Hanover. In 1935 the town of Lyme, which had a population of about 900, had been without a doctor for some time.  Despite the great depression residents voted at a town meeting to raise $500 for the support of a doctor for the ensuing year. Bill Putnam was finishing an 18 month internship at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital when the vacancy in Lyme came to his attention.  The position was ideal for his requirements; as a 9 year old he had barely escaped death in the influenza epidemic of 1918 and, inspired by his attending physician, had decided then to become a doctor in a small New Hampshire town.  And so it was that on 1 January 1936 William F Putnam, M.D. hung out his shingle - or put up his plate - in Lyme, having made his first house call the night before. "Doc Putnam" had begun his career.  He stayed in Lyme for 42 years, and his practice expanded to include 24 communities in two states.  He once calculated that his territory encompassed more than 1000 square miles.”
