Does anybody have access to the 1890 census? I don't see how over 7,000 people could've lived here in 1890. Today, Loyalsock Township has population over 10,000. Perhaps a population of over 1,000 fits Armstrong better? I've looked for more accurate info with little success. I think that 7k is an error from the scanning of the Meginnes book.

South Williamsport was incorporated in 1886 and DuBoistown in 1878 combined they have a population around 8,000 today. In 1890 far less land was developed within the boroughs. I doubt they could have had 7,000 even counting the rest of Armstrong Township in 1890. Armstrong Township had more farms in 1890 and perhaps it included more of what is now DuBoistown and South Williamsport, but I don't think it could have had more than 1000 people. It has less than that today and more developed areas (though not much). A common way, though not common in the US now, to make handwritten "1" is to write what you and I'd describe as a tent and we'd easily interpret as a "7". Misinterpretted handwriting could be the source of the discrepancy.

I have looked up Armstrong Township in the 1890 census at http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/1890b3_p1-08.pdf on the 50th page. 385 people lived in Armstrong Township in 1890. 1431 lived there in 1880, South Williamsport was removed from the township in the interim.
