Highmoor was spelled Highmore until about 1950.
There were 134 males and 122 females (children included). Total population was 256, including visitors, in 49 properties.
Few children were marked as scholars, perhaps because schooling was taken for granted in children of that age?
No 31: James Treadwell was (presumably) the first Post Master.
One blind man, and one deaf woman.
