FRANKLIN COUNTY:
Highest Personal Estate Values Relative to Farming
The calculation of less than "eighteen percent" was derived from the numbers below. The list of individuals is an excerpt from the 1860 Franklin County Population Census revealing all citizens with a personal estate value greater than $10,000. The farmers have been highlighted in red for immediate identification. Only thirteen of the seventy-four individuals worth over $10,000 in Franklin farmed for a living.
