History Of Orange County New York

The History of Orange County New York is a work by Russel Headley. It presents the historical happenings of OC while focusing on the development of ideas and institutions and local social and economic conditions.

Census records and name lists for New York are found mostly at the county level, which is why this work shows precisely which census records or census substitutes exist for each of New York's sixty-two counties and where they can be found. In addition to the numerous statewide official censuses taken by New York, this work contains references to census substitutes and name lists for time periods in which the state did not take an official census. It also shows the location of copies of federal census records and provides county boundary maps and numerous state census facsimiles and extraction forms.

Lineages taken from old, unindexed local histories; includes lists of inhabitants, taxpayers, military rosters, etc.
