There may have been a few other families who have removed out of the town whom I have not known.
Of the descendants of those ancients, there now remain, as near as I can ascertain, about 5 families in this neighborhood.
These numbers, 56 + 30 + 5 = 91 families.
There now are about 20 families in this neighborhood who are of the anterior emigration from the upper neighborhood and are included in its calculations.
