Barnstable County Massachusetts 1855 Census

An extraction of 1855 census records for four towns in Barnstable County, Massachusetts including Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham and Falmouth, North and South Dennis.

Description

The peninsula forming the southeastern extremity of Massachusetts is known as Cape Cod. Its position earned it the name "the right arm of Massachusetts" because it has its shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand symbolically poised over the deep, as if beckoning the disputed pilgrims to cross over and rest safely under the palm. Barnstable County covers the entire peninsula. The early settlers were initially farmers, but they later turned to the sea for its bounty. From farmers to sea captains, the population changed as the people found other livelihoods. This database includes the names, ages, occupations, genders, races, places of birth, and addresses for the inhabitants of Barnstable County in 1855, including the towns of Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich and Orleans. This update adds the records for Provincetown.
