Appendix: New York State Census of  and  The following tables distinguish between the tripartite divisions of Jefferson County. Table  Home manufactured cloth64 Whitney Cross has remarked that “When the farmer could sell rather than eat his crops, his wife could buy textiles instead of spinning and weaving.”65 In Jefferson County, the quantity of home manufactured cloth is a helpful indicator of the level of commercial activity in a region. A high number indicates a low level of commercial activity. The figures are for yards of cloth manufactured per capita.

Towns from the northern section of the county—LeRay, Pamelia, Antwerp, Orleans, Philadelphia, Alexandria, and Clayton—are dispersed throughout this spectrum of agricultural activity. By contrast, towns from the southern section are bunched at the top of the spectrum, while towns from the mid-section are bunched at the bottom.
