Contributed by Ann Mensch. This census extraction was found in The History of Temple, New Hampshire by Henry Ames Blood, published in 1860, pp. 101-102. Although there was a category called "Negroes and Slaves for life," there were no Negroes nor slaves for life in Temple. The category was used, rather, to report "Guns and "Powder."
