Transcription of the hand-written census records is always complex. There are a number of issues which make this task difficult, time consuming, and fraught with possible error. Among these are:

I have attempted to decipher as much information as possible. Where impossible, I have used asterisks (*) to indicate the unknown characters. There will undoubtedly be some misinterpretations. If you find errors in the content of this document, please feel free to let me know so they can be corrected.
