"The population at present (1791) is 229, of whom 123 are male, 106 are female, and 49 are under 10 years of age. They are all of the Established Church, except one family, and a few servants, who are partly Burghers, and partly Antiburghers; the whole not exceeding 16. There are 42 families, 17 married couples, 8 widows, and 3 widowers. There are 76 servants, 4 wrights, 2 masons, 1 miller, 1 weaver, and 1 smith. The people are, in general, sober, industrious, and well disposed; attentive to their several situations in life, and uncommonly charitable and humane."
