GATHERUM One good way to plot the development of Kaysville in the early years is through the census information. As was mentioned in last weeks column, between 20 and 29 families or about 179 people were living in the Kaysville area in 1851 when the first U.S. Census was taken. Additional census information for the years 1852, 1853 and 1855 can be found on LDS Bishops census. ACCORDING TO the census, the population of Kaysville was 295 in 1852; 417 in 1853 and 580 in 1855. By the time the 1860 census was taken, Kaysville's population had reached 767 or an increase of only 187 over the 1855 population figure. The largest growth spurt was in 1852-5when the population increased 41 percent of the population in that year was under 8 years of 3 tion in Kaysville, the birth rate per 1,000 cant be considered an accurate sampling of population trends but it does portray the unusual fact that most Mormon frontier settlements were populated by a large number of females and an abandunce of children. THE PRACTICE of polygamy and the traditional Merman belief in large familes explans the difference in the population makeup of Mor-ma- n communities and the typical frontier settlement which was nearly all male. The slow growth of Kaysville between 1855 and 1860 was because of two things: the drought of 1855 and the severe winter of 1855-5the "move south" in 1858. With the threat of Johnston's Army (the Utah War) approaching the valley, Kaysville residents joined with people from all northern one-thir- d Utah communities to evacuate age. and move to the sourthern part of the state. Most residents returned but some located else- THE BIRTHRATE in 1852 was 44.1 per 1,000 or 13 total births. In 1853, there were 24 births for a rate of 57.6 per 1,000. The 16 births recorded in 1855 meant the rate was 27.6 births per 1,000. Because of the small popula where. THERE WERE no "foreign bom listed in the 1860 census in the totals columns even though 88 percent of the adult population in Kaysville were bom in the Brish Isles. Twen- - BARRY H.

Of all foreign born adults in 1870 95.10 percent came from the British Isles. Sixteen individuals were natives of South Africa. Fifty percent of Kaysville's 1870 population were born in Utah.
