Transcriber's Notes:
  A number appears next to the heads of families.  This appears to show the number of
  families within the household.

  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.  Notes in brackets [] are the transcriber's.

  The census is bound in a ledger and additionally appears to have fold-out pages.
