Emma D. Hinds, under the pen name of \"Rupert,\" was the gossip columnist and vital records recorder for the Essex County Republican during the period covered. For researchers interested in a family's web of kith and kin, gossip columns can be an indispensable resource, adding regional, cultural, and socio-economic aspects. Numerous pieces of social history linked to individuals or families are recorded here that may not have been noted in print elsewhere. Births, marriages, and deaths are of particular value to genealogists as the period of 1877-1881 falls before Wilmington's civil vital records begin. These tidbits, clipped from a regional paper that otherwise reported little on Wilmington, provide insights into life in a town which had no newspaper. The appointment of school teachers, local schools' closing exercises, church-related meetings, sermons, the coming and going of visitors, and social occasions such as the Sabbath school picnics were all reported along with a sprinkling of disease, illness, crimes, fire, prostitution, and \"demon\" drink.Entries are sub-divided into personals and subjects, and then each section is further sub-divided into alphabetical listings and chronological entries. The Alphabetical Order by Person section includes the full name, date, subject, and scrapbook page number.

Genealogists and family historians should find these Wilmington church records of considerable value for determining if a church-going ancestor was in Wilmington. Additionally, whether a person was a Methodist Episcopal or a Congregational member will better define their particular religious belief. The transcriptions in this volume include: Church Records of the Congregational Church; Methodist Episcopal Church, Book I (1836-1862); Methodist Episcopal Church, Book I. B. (1842-1862); Methodist Episcopal Church, Book II (1862-1882); Methodist Episcopal Church Record of Marriages; Methodist Episcopal Church Alphabetical List of Members; and a Comprehensive Church Record of the Jay and Wilmington Methodist Episcopal Churches. The Wilmington Congregational Church records were transcribed from privately-owned original documents. These records include detailed biographical information, such as whether an individual was married or single. These records span 1834 to 1883; however, the coverage is not continuous and the records are not strictly chronological. The Methodist Episcopal Church records were transcribed from the extraordinary set of records preserved at Wilmington's Whiteface Community United Methodist Church. The ME volumes, other than Book I, are not limited to the Town of Wilmington Methodist Church. The members of the Circuit varied between 1842 and 1862; at various times these records include churches in the towns of Wilmington, Jay, AuSable, Saranac, Keene and the village of AuSable Forks. Entries include church status for members, a record of quarterly Circuit meetings, and detailed information on some members such as: residence, whether single or married, \"remarks\" (baptized or sprinkled, joined, received in full, came by letter, dropped, removed, withdrew, moved, removed by letter, dead or died).

Surviving records include chattel mortgages, which are a frequently overlooked resource. Chattel mortgages are especially valuable because there were no banks in Essex County during much of the nineteenth century. Money was borrowed from private individuals and businesses, such as the general store or blacksmith. Both the borrowers and the lenders are captured in the chattel mortgage records. Chattel mortgages contain important details, the most significant of which have been abstracted: the names of the mortgagor and the mortgagee, and their place of residence, if given; the date of the instrument; what had been put up as collateral; the loan; the terms of the loan, generally when a note came due; the witness(es) to the chattel mortgage; and the resolution of the mortgage if known. In addition, chattel mortgages describe possessions with more specificity than probate inventories or the various agricultural and industrial censuses, which is particularly important since evidence for the possessions of nineteenth century rural inhabitants is generally sparse.

The blacksmith ledger transcribed herein was found in the old Warren\/Haselton house located in the hamlet of Haselton (formerly known as Markhamville), in the town of Wilmington, when it was put up for sale by George Warren in 2006. The house had been in the Haselton and Warren families since the mid-1800s. The provenance of the ledger is not clear; initially, it was most likely to have been the ledger of Timothy Haselton, and then of his son, Daniel. It is also possible that the initial forty-eight pages involved Nathan B. Markham. Genealogists and family historians should find the Haselton blacksmith ledger of considerable value. It captures a somewhat different population than that of the village of Wilmington's general store ledger, 1852-1854.

Although the ledger primarily concerns blacksmithing tasks and equipment, it also mentions a great variety of goods and tasks, ranging from traditional blacksmith work to grocery store goods.

While it is well known that in 1847 the New York legislature passed an \"Act for the registry of births, marriages, and deaths\" by School District Clerks, it is not widely recognized that schools from 1814 extending into the 1920s, produced School Trustee Annual Reports. The Essex County Clerk's Office holds a collection of these reports, and the authors have abstracted the collection for the town of Wilmington. Unfortunately, some years are entirely missing (1860-63, 1869-74, 1890), and not all school districts' reports survive for any given year. Nevertheless, these records are very valuable, both for genealogists and family historians.

Then in 1898, children's names and ages are again added for children five through eighteen. The number of those children who attended public school from October through the first of June is indicated. The 1889, 1891 and 1892 school census provides names of parents or guardians and the number of children of school age. When combined with the 1892 New York state census, these reports can provide a partial substitute for the missing 1890 federal census.

Records into the 1890s reveal what contests or issues each voter voted on, although whether an individual's vote was in support of or against an initiative or particular candidate is not indicated. Poll lists are of particular importance because they track democracy at work; and because, unlike the U.S. and New York state censuses, they capture a significant portion of the local, adult male population every year. Most years poll lists capture males who were of age, and, for at least two years, poll lists also capture those women who were electors for school commissioner contests or voted in school elections. Some adult males never appear on a census record, but are listed on poll lists. In 1890 the age and residence of voters are indicated.

Providing both theory and practical example, Hinds makes a significant contribution that seekers of ancestors will find not only helpful but enlightening. He has demonstrated vividly and convincingly that exploiting oft-neglected local and regional materials and analyzing them diligently in the light of the time and place of their creation, can reveal -- even when the forebears are unexceptional folk from Ireland -- an engaging, often surprising, sometimes shocking family saga well worth telling.\u003cbr\u003e-- John Philip Colletta, Ph.D., author of \u003cem\u003eOnly a Few Bones \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarold E.
