The first Federal Census thatlisted residents occupations was the 1850. For the town of Lisbon the primarywork performed was that of farming, if you weren’t a farmer, you were a farmlaborer, or you were a “Laborer” of something else.
Below are listed theoccupations of those jobs, other than those listed above, and the town’s peoplewho performed them, beginning with the year 1870. Note:name spellings haven’t all been checked yet. 1900 isn’t complete yet, and 1910in the making.
