1850 Federal Census
New London Co., CT
Original County created in 1666

View Township Map of New London County

The 1850 Census names each free person in a household and includes in the information their age, sex, color and for males over the age of 15, this census also includes the occupation.  It states the value of real estate owned, whether a person could read or write if over the age of 20, and whether the person listed was deaf-mute, blind, insane, an idiot, a pauper, or a convict.
   
Please Note - Not all the related surnames have been extracted for this county. The concentration was focused on those who had some known association to the Thomas Main family, or those who I could trace through other records. When known, the maiden name of the woman is listed in parenthesis.
