>The peninsula forming the southeastern extremity of Massachusetts is

>Massachusetts" because it has its shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand
>symbolically poised over the deep, as if beckoning the disputed
>pilgrims to cross over and rest safely under the palm. Barnstable
>County covers the entire peninsula. The early settlers were initially
>farmers, but they turned to the sea for its bounty. From farmers to
>sea captains, the population changed as the people found other
>livelihoods. This database includes the towns, names, ages,
>occupations, gender, color, and places of birth for the inhabitants
>of Barnstable County in 1855.
