General Notes (Husband)
1846 Van Buren Co, IA
The Iowa Constitution of 1846 provided that within one year after its
ratification and within every subsequent term of two years, an enumeration of
all the white inhabitants of the State should be made. In accordance with this
provision an act was passed by the First General Assembly, and approved January 20, 1847, requiring the assessors to take an enumeration of white inhabitants on or before the first day of August, 1847. In the census of 1847, the first of the State, the counties of Dallas, Iowa, Jasper, Keokuk and Winneshiek
appeared. Thirty-two counties in all made report. Total population ascertained
was 116,454. The following 1847 record for Van Buren County, the original of
which is in Census Division at the Iowa State Department of History and
Archives, was prepared and edited by Mrs. Vernon Harris with the assistance of
Miss Linda Harris, who undertook the tedious assignment of alphabetizing this
entire list of names. Head-of-family and number in each household are given.
