About this Page

I created this page first to be a single source for all the census, land record and similar information that I come across for the Hostager farm. As a result, there is a lot of interesting data about the farm and the people who lived on it. But, it is short of any kind of introduction, conclusions or comments. I may write something on this data in the future.

1835 Census (November 29)

The Census of 1835 provides little information about specific individuals living on the Hostager farm. It does provide animal and crop counts.
