Historical Society Wisconsin Archives Division, Madison, WI
Filmed 25 April 1950, Microfilm call #: HA 377.A6
Other Microfilm: FHL# 1293919 Item 2
Other Transcriptions: FHL Books 977.5 X22j 1838, X22ji 1838 v2 (indexes only)
State: The area to become Iowa
County: Lee
Divisions: Township/Range, Half Breed Tract, Montrose, Fort Madison,
West Point
Enumerators: Joshua Owen, Sheriff
Enumerator Dates: May & 9 June 1838
Transcriber's Notes:
"F", "Fr" and "Frac" abbriviations probably refer to "Fractional Section". Definition:
"Fractional Section - A section of land is denoted as a fractional section if it
is not a complete section (e.g., less than 640 acres due to a body of water)."
Some pages headings were abreviated by the enumerator, e.g., Names Township H M F Free
M Free F T. The full heading was used instead.
Various punctuations (mainly periods, spaces and sometimes the abscents of the leter
'R') were used in the township/division column. To standardize, for example, T58N R4W
was used to denote Township 58 North, Range 4 West.
Page 1, line 14 in the township/division column appears to read "F/Tey? N. R. 5 W.", but
because of the following page it most likely reads "T 69 N 5 W" which referes to Town-
ship 69 North, Range 5 West.
Page and Line number columns have been added. No line numbers appear on the original
census but have been assigned to retain the enumeration order. Page numbers are
handwritten at the top of each page. "Do" stands for "Ditto" and has been left as-is.
Notes in brackets [] are the transcriber's.
The census is bound in a ledger and additionally appears to have fold-out pages.
