Caveat: The righthand farm statistics page is often mis-matched with the lefthand census page. This township seems to be matched correctly. Transcriber's Notes: No line numbers appear on the original census. Line numbers have been assigned to indicate the enumeration order. A few lines on page 461 (right-side farm statics page) do not line up with page 460. The enumerated seemed to have gotten off by a line when continuing across to page 461. ============================================================================================================================================================================= CENSUS-YEAR: 1856 STATE: Iowa COUNTY: Delaware DIVISION: Adams Township ENUMERATOR: [unknown] ENUM DATE: [unknown] MICROFILM: FHL# 1021296, HQ# V221-13 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - =========================================================================================================================================================================================================== ACRES OF ACRES OF ACRES TONS BUSHELS WHEAT OATS CORN POTATOES HOGS CATTLE LBS.
