 1820 US Census of Madawaska
The 1820 Census was the first US Census of Madawaska (spelled "Matawascah" and "Matawasca" in the census returns), which was included in the returns for Penobscot County, Maine.
It seems almost certain that the returns for the places enumerated by Bradbury are missing from the microfilm copy because they were taken from the census archives for use in documentation presented by the United States in 1829 to the King of the Netherlands in his 1831 arbitration over the border dispute.
Indeed, an abstract of the 1820 US Census of Matawascah Parish (Madawaska) (along with Houlton Plantation and New Limerick Plantation), was included in the documentation submitted in that year by the United States in the arbitration.

 Search 1820 United States Federal Census
The 1820 census was begun on 7 August 1820.
Additionally, the 1820 census for the first time asked the number of free white males 16 to 18; number of persons not naturalized; number engaged in agriculture, commercial, or manufacture; number of “colored” persons (sometimes in age categories); and number of other persons except Indians.
The 1820 census will, in most cases, help distinguish the target family from others of the same name; help to determine family size; locate possible relatives with the same name; identify immediate neighbors who may be related; identify slaveholders; and spot spelling variations of surnames.

The quantitative analysis grows out of his experience as a researcher in the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project which was designed to tell us why the shipping industry of Atlantic Canada collapsed with the passing of the age of sail.
Even the apotheosis of the true industrial workplace in the form of the elusive ocean-going steamship, with its carefully segregated and controlled crews, is provided by a snapshot of the British merchant marine in the final chapter.
This is introduced presumably to remind us that what did not happen in Atlantic Canada did nonetheless affect the workers of the world, a tendentious conclusion to the study of an entirely different merchant marine.Sager is a real magpie.

 Democracy in Canada 1820 - 1850
In 1820, the British North American colonies had all the trappings of responsible government, but the fact was that it was a sham, and Britain still had all the power it needed to have complete control over its North American possessions.
The lack of democracy in the colonies was deepened by the existence of the Family Compact and Chateau Clique in Upper and Lower Canada.
And so, by 1850, Canada had undergone a total metamorphosis, in 1820 having an elected assembly with zero power and a governor with total power, to 1850, with an elected body making decisions and a governor who gave Royal Assent even when it was not the wish of the British government.
