What follows is an index to every name that appears in the business directory portion for the Town of Hounsfield, published on pages 117 through 127 of the back section of Hamilton Child's Gazetteer of Jefferson County, N.Y. (1890).

        All married women are designated as "Mrs." where so indicated in the original text.

        Nan Dixon and her team of volunteers have created a transcript of the full text from these pages and posted them on the Town of Hounsfield section of the Jefferson County GenWeb site. After finding a name in the index below you may go to the GenWeb site and use the "find" function of your browser to locate each instance of that name. (Be sure to check out the other great features at Jefferson County GenWeb!)

        Names in this index that are underlined in red are linked to a portrait of that person which can be found on the Jefferson County NY Pioneer Portraits Project website.

        You can use the page numbers below to order photocopies of the actual pages of the book from your local library. If your local library doesn't have the book, order copies from: Flower Memorial Library, 229 Washington St., Watertown, NY 13601.
