Perry County, Ohio is featured in this sale.  This census consists of approximately 120 pages.  Each entry is spread over two pages.   The census contains the following information: name of owner or manager of the farm improved acres of land unimproved acres of land value of farming implements and machinery livestock horses asses and mules milch cows working oxen other cattle sheep swine value of livestock produce during the year bushels of wheat bushels of rye bushels of Indian corn bushels of oats pounds of rice pounds of tobacco bales of ginned cotton, four hundred pounds each pounds of wool bushels of peas and beans bushels of Irish potatoes bushels of sweet potatoes bushels of barley bushels of buckwheat value of orchard products in dollars gallons of wine value of produce of market gardens pounds of butter pounds of cheese tons of hay bushels of clover seed bushels of grass seed pounds of hops tons of drew rotton hemp other prepared hemp pounds of flax bushels of flaxseed pounds of silk cocoons pounds of maple sugar hogsheads of one hundred pounds each of cane sugar gallons of molasses, and from what made pounds of beeswax pounds of honey value of homemade manufactures value of animals slaughtered This census is very interesting in that it gives an overview of what each person produced on their farm.  You may know that your great great grandfather was a farmer, but do you know what he produced?  Do you know how big his farm was?  This also becomes interesting when you see siblings enumerated and can compare their farm's value to each other.  This census can help you fill in some of the gaps and give you a more complete picture of who your ancestor was in the days just before the Civil War.   This CD is both Mac and PC compatible.  Sorry, but I cannot honor requests to do lookups due to time contraints.  Also, this CD is not returnable unless it does not work.   I do have other counties from this same census listed on ebay, as well as other Ohio genealogy resources.  Check out my other auctions to see what counties are currently being featured (including more Perry county items!).    Thanks for bidding, and happy hunting!   genealogy geneology .
