The South Precinct of Dutchess County grew from fewer than 50 families in 1740 to nearly 1400 in 1790. With over 200 pages devoted to never-before-published tax lists and farm lot maps, this volume brings together tax, tenant, militia, and census records of that part of Dutchess County that became Putnam County in 1812. The complete extant tax records include over 20,000 entries from 1741 to 1779. Based upon a meticulous comparison of the lists from year to year, the author augments the tax lists with suggested corrections for possible or apparent scribe errors. The every-name index includes over 1500 surnames and over 5000 individuals. This volume is a must-have for researchers interested in the history and peoples of this era.

Census records and name lists for New York are found mostly at the county level, which is why this work shows precisely which census records or census substitutes exist for each of New York's sixty-two counties and where they can be found. In addition to the numerous statewide official censuses taken by New York, this work contains references to census substitutes and name lists for time periods in which the state did not take an official census. It also shows the location of copies of federal census records and provides county boundary maps and numerous state census facsimiles and extraction forms.
