The 1825 Trafalgar Township Assessment "These records were given to the Archives in October, 1948, by the clerk of the township, Mr. Wilfrid Lord, through the kindness and interest of Mrs. Hazel C. Mathews, Oakville." Transcription from the Oakville Public Library Microfilm by Fred Blair for the Trafalgar Historical Society, October 15, 2012. The original assessment was a chart with at least thirty-two columns, of which only the first ten have been summarized and transcribed here. The transcriber's comments appear in square brackets. Some portions of the microfilmed documents were too dark to read due to the photo process and multiple images did not always provide clear images of these portions. Rescanning the documents would probably reveal more details. The columns were: Name [with a pair of numbers after each name, eg. 5/6 or 4/-] No. of Acres of Land: Uncultivated Cultivated No. of Lots and other Dissignations No. of Concessions No. of Males: Over 16 years of age Under 16 years of age No. of Females: Over 16 years of age Under 16 years of age Total No. of Inhabitants in Each family Houses: Squared or hewn timber on 2 Sides 1 Story Additional fire places Framed under 2 Story Additional fire places Squared timber 2 Story additional fire places framed Brick or Stone 1 Story not ...
