As the censuses of 1850 and 1860 were taken, it is impossible to feel any assurance, in any particular case, whether church organizations or church edifices are returned in answer to the inquiry, 'Number of Churches.' In preparation for the Ninth Census (1870), this inquiry was divided into Number of church organizations. Number of church edifices.' |
